WTA Berlin – Sabalenka vs Vondroušová
🔍 Form & Context
Aryna Sabalenka
- 🧱 Battle-tested: Saved four match points to beat Rybakina in a thriller—came back from 3–6 in the final-set tiebreak.
- 💤 Slow starter: Has needed big second sets to survive both her matches in Berlin so far.
- 🎯 In peak form: With a 42–7 record in 2025 and Slam finals in Melbourne & Paris, this may be her best season yet—but she's still chasing her first grass title.
- 📊 Mixed Berlin record: Just 2–4 here before this week; this is her first semifinal at the venue.
- 🌱 Grass conundrum: Two semifinals before on grass—no titles yet.
Markéta Vondroušová
- 🦋 Flying low, striking big: Knocked out Keys, Shnaider, and Jabeur—all in straight sets.
- ⚙️ Momentum returns: This is her best run since RG 2023, after a quiet and injury-hit 2025.
- 🧊 Ice-veined: Didn’t drop serve vs Jabeur, and has kept errors to a minimum all week.
- 🍀 Dangerous floater: Ranked #164, but don’t let that fool you—she’s a Wimbledon champ and back in form.
- 🌱 Grass streak incoming? This is just her second grass semi. The first? She won Wimbledon.
