WTAMonday, 04 July 2022 at 11:00
In just her second Grand Slam main draw, the 22-year-old German Jule Niemeier in through to her first major quarterfinal.
The World No.97 lost in the last round of qualifying at Wimbledon 12 months ago and didn't make her major debut until last month at Roland Garros. What she's done so far this fortnight, from upsetting No.2 seed Anett Kontaveit in Round 2 to now, is a feat not lost on her.
She said:
"I came here, I just wanted to win my first round after losing in Paris. Now, being in the quarterfinal in Wimbledon, I don't know, I'm speechless. It just feels not real. I'm just so happy. ... It has been a great journey so far. I'm looking forward to the next match."
In her Centre Court debut, the German showed no signs of nerves. She won five games in a row to win the first set and won six of the last eight from 2-0 down in the second set.

- 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".
