Aryna Sabalenka will face the winner of the ongoing Ons Jabeur - Elena Rybakina match in the semi-finals of 2023 Wimbledon after taking down Madison Keys on Wednesday afternoon.
It was a 6-2, 6-4 win for the World No.2 who continues to go about her business over on Court One but will now get Centre Court billing after reaching the semi-final for the second time in her career.
Sabalenka eased through the opening set going 5-1 up, she suffered a service hold from Keys.
But had the opportunity to claim it 6-2 on her serve. She streaked to 30-0 with a blistering serve leaving Keys to only whip it out to the sidelines.
Sabalenka though didn't have a straight forward end to the set handing her opponent a route into the game as she struggled to return from Keys. But at deuce, she whipped out an ace.
Deuce though was forced two more time but Keys netted a point and this time Sabalenka took the advantage to full effect.
Keys took a break in set two to go 4-2 up but Sabalenka soon reversed it breaking straight back and held serve to make it 4-4. Again Keys lost it with a routine break for Sabalenka which nailed the coffin as she sealed the win from there on her own serve with relative ease.
A pivotal chance going knocking at 4-2 especially after going 40-0 up on her own serve for a route back into the game.
But it is Sabalenka who moves on into the semi-finals at SW19.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
