WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Aryna Sabalenka reached the semifinals at Wimbledon for the second straight time with a one-year break in between because she was banned from the tournament in 2022. Sabalenka is from Belarus and had to sit out last year’s competition along with other players from her country and from Russia because of the war in Ukraine. She beat Madison Keys 6-2, 6-4 on No. 1 Court. The victory improved Sabalenka’s record to 17-1 at major tournaments this year. She won the Australian Open and reached the semifinals at the French Open before her five wins on the grass at Wimbledon. She will next face either defending champion Elena Rybakina or Ons Jabuer.
