As the action at the All England Club continues to heat up, day three of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships did not disappoint. With top seeds and fan favorites taking to the grass courts, there were thrilling matches and unexpected upsets that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. Let’s take a look at all the action from day three of the WTA Wimbledon Championships.
Aryna Sabalenka, the current world number one and top seed, had a dominant performance in her second-round match against American Shelby Rogers. Sabalenka, who is known for her powerful groundstrokes, came out firing on all cylinders, quickly taking the first set 6-1. Rogers put up a fight in the second set, but Sabalenka’s aggressive style of play proved to be too much as she sealed the victory with a 6-3 second set win. With this win, Sabalenka advances to the third round and remains a top contender for the Wimbledon title.
In another highly anticipated match, 2024 Wimbledon finalist Jasmine Paolini faced off against rising star Marta Kostyuk. Paolini, who had a breakthrough run in 2024, was looking to continue her momentum at this year’s tournament. However, Kostyuk had other plans as she played an impressive match, showcasing her speed and agility on the grass courts. The two players battled it out for three grueling sets, with Kostyuk ultimately coming out on top with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory. This upset sent shockwaves through the tournament and sets up an exciting third round for Kostyuk.
While Sabalenka and Kostyuk were the headliners of day three, there were many other notable matches that took place. Former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova had a straight-set win over qualifier Martina Trevisan, while 2020 French Open champion Iga Swiatek continued her dominance on the grass courts with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Kirsten Flipkens. Another notable upset on the women’s side was 2019 Wimbledon champion Simona Halep’s loss to Russian player Veronika Kudermetova in a tight three-set match.
The day also saw some impressive performances from unseeded players. Belgian player Elise Mertens had a convincing 6-2, 6-3 win over 14th seed Maria Sakkari, while American Danielle Collins upset 11th seed Madison Keys in straight sets. These unexpected wins prove that anything can happen on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
Aside from the on-court action, there were also some noteworthy moments off the court. American teenager Coco Gauff, who made headlines in 2019 by reaching the fourth round as a wildcard, made her return to Wimbledon after missing last year’s tournament due to injury. Gauff, who is known for her maturity and composure on the court, impressed once again with a straight-set win over Italian player Sara Errani.
In the doubles competition, top seeds and three-time Wimbledon champions Hsieh Su-wei and Barbora Strycova continued their winning streak with a 6-3, 6-2 victory. The pair, who are known for their unorthodox but effective style of play, are looking to add another Wimbledon title to their already impressive resume.
As day three of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships comes to a close, the women’s draw continues to get more interesting. With top seeds advancing and unexpected upsets, it’s anyone’s game to win.
