Aryna Sabalenka booked her spot in the third round at Wimbledon 2025 with a hard-fought 7-6(4), 6-4 win over Marie Bouzkova on Centre Court on Wednesday. The world No. 1 had to dig deep in a tight opening set but pulled through with a strong tie-break before sealing the match in one hour and 35 minutes.

Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka and the end of London's tropical heatwave ensured that a sense of normality returned to the lawns of Wimbledon on Wednesday after two sweat-soaked days of shocks, although Jasmine Paolini's exit meant the surprises did not end.

Aryna Sabalenka has come back after being two points from dropping the opening set of her second-round Wimbledon match three times.
