Schedule/Preview Day 11 2023 Wimbledon Championships - Women's Semi-Finals Day including Svitolina-Vondrousova and Jabeur-Sabalenka
WTA
Day 11 is incoming and the schedule is set for 2023 Wimbledon semi-finals day in the Women's Draw with our first final set to be confirmed.
Barring one player, a new Grand Slam winner will potentially be confirmed with one player in particular being a favourite to add to her sole Grand Slam title.
Sabalenka-Jabeur and Svitolina-Vondrousova to take Centre Stage
Two ties that are polar opposite in terms of players that are expected to be there and two players who have had welcome runs at SW19.
The two that were expected were Aryna Sabalenka, part of that so called WTA Big Three with Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina and could ascend to the top of the WTA ladder by reaching the final.
She will now be favourite to not only do that but to lift the title. Not playing on Centre Court nearly at all during this fortnight, she will get the chance second up in a cracking contest.
The other piece of this puzzle is Ons Jabeur. Last year's finalist will likely see this as her final as the pressure will ramp onto her even more if she does win through.
After last year's disappointment of losing to Elena Rybakina in the final, she gained revenge and erased all doubt and could make further history for Tunisia and the Middle East if she wasn't a trailblazer enough by becoming a Grand Slam champion.
A player who would be a popular winner of the title come Saturday, she has two more matches to do so.
In terms of Head to Head, Sabalenka importantly has a win at Wimbledon against Jabeur back in 2021 on her resume and has only lost once ever to her.
Back in 2020 at the French Open with the subsequent three wins going the way of the Belarusian but will this count for anything on the day?

While in the other half, Elina Svitolina will aim to make her maiden Grand Slam final.
A player who has been top three in the world, won the WTA Finals but never been past the semi-finals of a Grand Slam.
She has captivated the hearts and minds of the British over the past week with the back drop not only of the Ukraine but her post pregnancy comeback after only coming back three months ago.
The added spice which the press will hope sees Svitolina through is a potential clash with Aryna Sabalenka in the final.
She stood at the net waiting for Svitolina at Roland Garros and would be the first Grand Slam likely with no handshake between the finalists and will likely see those not usually covering the sport descending on SW19 to do so.
But she has to get past a player who has done what she hasn't and reach a Grand Slam final. That being Marketa Vondrousova.
The Czech ace reached the Roland Garros final back in 2019 and at the age of 24 has dealt with having multiple wrist surgeries last year and time away from the court as she couldn't deliver on that clay court breakout.
She took advantage of a Jessica Pegula meltdown last round and before that stood on the brink against Marie Bouzkova. But she now has a chance to make it two Grand Slam finals and like she did in Paris, it has been fairly under the radar.
It is a match that has been played numerous times. Svitolina won in 2018 in Qatar, Stuttgart that same year and Indian Wells in 2019. But Vondrousova thrashed her in Rome in their last meeting.
Two different players since then and it is hard to predict who finds their way through.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
