Despite the fact that she was the world No. 1 for over a year, Iga Swiatek had never made it beyond the quarterfinals at Wimbledon – until this year. Swiatek, now ranked No. 8, will face No. 35 Belinda Bencic at the semi-finals this Thursday where they will meet on Centre Court. The winner of their match will face the winner of the other women's semi between Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova at the championship final on Saturday.

How to watch Wimbledon with a VPN:

Want to catch every match of Wimbledon and don't currently subscribe to ESPN+, cable or a live TV streaming service? The tournament will air free on BBC iPlayer in the U.K.; in Australia, a majority of the action is streaming free with ads on 9Now.

Don't live in either of those places? Don't worry. You can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the next F1 race without a cable package, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.
