Hello there and welcome to Wimbledon 2023 – day 10!
And what a day it is. We begin proceedings on Court 1, where frankly you feel for the balls, who are in for a painful afternoon. In her fourth-round match against Marra Andreeva, Madison Keys found herself just in time, adapting tactics on the fly to overpower her brilliant opponent and dodge the embarrassment of being the person whose defeat allowed a 16-year-old into the last eight. But today, she meets the player most similar to herself who is also better than she is – Aryna Sabalenka hits it even harder, has an even better touch, and in Melbourne, finally held it down when it mattered to win her first Slam. However, her semi-final collapse at Roland-Garros reminded us that, despite her progress, she is who she is, so a battle of devastating power, beauty and frailty awaits.
