And that was all she wrote for today’s semi-finals. Rybakina v Sabalenka is the final lineup for Saturday in the women’s singles. Commiserations to Azarenka and Linette, who can be incredibly proud of how they performed over the past couple of weeks.
Thanks for reading and I’ll be back for Djokovic v Paul in the men’s semi-finals tomorrow. Bye for now.

Eurosport run some footage from Azarenka’s press conference following her defeat by Rybakina earlier: “I can’t say I played great tennis today,” says the 2012 and 2013 champion while sporting her trademark sunglasses. “I didn’t really do that. I’m proud of myself how I fought, how I tried … she’s a great player, she has big weapons. If she improves a couple of areas, she is going to be better … I want to see how she is in five years.”
