Laura Siegemund produced a magical run to the 2025 Wimbledon quarter-finals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The German beat the likes of 2021 US Open<\/a> runner-up Leylah Fernandez and Australian Open champion Madison Keys<\/a> on the way to the last eight.<\/p>\n

At the age of 37, Siegemund reached new ground at a Grand Slam, and it took a gritty performance from Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> to end her run.<\/p>\n

The WTA<\/a> veteran has bamboozled opponents with her trick slices and low shots, utilising all angles of the court.<\/p>\n

But there is one thing Siegemund was guilty of doing during her match against Sabalenka which she has since been criticised for.<\/p>\n

As entertaining as Laura Siegemund is to watch play, she has been criticised for some of her actions on court.<\/p>\n

She is notorious on the WTA Tour for the amount of time she takes between points. Siegemund was given a time violation during her Wimbledon<\/a> quarter-final and she left the court for approximately 10 minutes after losing the second set.<\/p>\n

This was pointed out by the Tennis Podcast and one of the co-hosts David Law was not happy with Siegemund.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe she\u2019s not aware of how it [her time-wasting] impacts her opponent,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cLook. It\u2019s in the rules. She bends them, she pushes them. Sometimes she goes over the line, and she gets penalised.\u201d Catherine Whitaker added: \u201cDid she get penalised enough today? She got one time violation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was one point where Aryna Sabalenka was ready to serve, you know, in position at the baseline, looking up the other end, and Siegemund turned her back on her.., turned her back! And strutted to the back of the court.\u201d<\/p>\n

Siegemund was not only disrupting Sabalenka with her game but the Belarusian also had to deal with the time her opponent took between points.<\/p>\n

This could potentially disrupt the opponent\u2019s rhythm, but Sabalenka did enough to come from a set down and defeat Siegemund<\/a> 4-6, 6-2, 6-4.<\/p>\n

Tennis Podcast co-host Matt Roberts was most disappointed with Siegemund delaying the match to the point that her opponent could not serve despite being ready to do so, and thinks the umpires should do more to penalise her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, you know, definitely some umpires could enforce the, you know, shot clock when Siegemund\u2019s serving stronger,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely think everyone should be firmer on the delay of game when her opponent\u2019s serving. That\u2019s the one that really annoys me.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I, you know, that is kind of going against the rules, you know, the speed of the server, and I think she I think she pushes that and goes over the line there quite often.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Laura Siegemund produced a magical run to the 2025 Wimbledon quarter-finals.
