The final singles match on Center Court Wednesday featured an intriguing clash between top-seeded Lucia Bronzetti and Germany’s Jule Niemeier. Bronzetti, who defeated Sweden’s rising star Linea Barajliu in straight sets in the opening round, continued her strong form by taking the first set 6–2. Despite the comfortable scoreline, the Italian didn’t appear entirely satisfied with her performance—suggesting she may still have more to give in this tournament.

Niemeier, however, elevated her game in the second set, adopting a more aggressive and balanced approach. Her efforts paid off as she clinched the set 6–4, pushing the match into a deciding third. But Bronzetti quickly regained control and reminded everyone why she’s the tournament’s top seed—dominating the final set 6–2 and securing her spot in the quarterfinals.

Louisa Chirico also advanced but had to dig much deeper. After dropping the first set 4–6, the American battled back to win a dramatic second-set tiebreak before sealing the match 7–5 in the third, securing her place among the final eight.
