Summary of Australian Women’s Results from 2025 Wimbledon Tournament

The Australian women had a disappointing showing at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, with all five singles competitors eliminated in the early rounds despite high hopes for several players.

Singles Results:

Daria Kasatkina (16th seed) – Australia’s new number one and highest-ranked player after switching nationality from Russia in March 2025, had the deepest run among the Australian women. Kasatkina defeated Irina-Camelia Begu 6-2 4-6 6-1 in the first round but was eliminated in the second round by 19th seed Liudmila Samsonova 6-2 6-3. Having complained of a dip in form as she faced new pressures following her switch of allegiance from Russia to Australia in March, Kasatkina really looked out of sorts and couldn’t conjure up any real resistance to 19th seed Samsonova in a one-sided affair. The rising 26-year-old Samsonova had simply far too much firepower for Kasatkina, whose defensive skills couldn’t prevent the barrage of 22 winners that flew past her.

Kimberly Birrell (65th ranked) – Lost in the first round to 22nd seed Donna Vekić 6-0 6-4. Birrell was making her main-draw debut at SW19.

Maya Joint (82nd ranked) – Lost in the first round to 19th seed Liudmila Samsonova. Joint was also making her main-draw debut at Wimbledon.

Olivia Gadecki (98th ranked) – Lost in the first round to Solana Sierra 6-2 7-6 (10-8).

Ajla Tomljanovic (83rd ranked) – A two-time Wimbledon quarterfinalist, Tomljanovic appears to have been eliminated early, though specific match details weren’t found in the search results.

Doubles Success:

Despite the singles disappointments, there was some Australian success in doubles:

Olivia Gadecki – Progressed to her maiden women’s doubles Grand Slam quarterfinal alongside American Desirae Krawczyk. It was, however, at the expense of all-Aussie duo Maya Joint and Kimberly Birrell; Gadecki and Krawczyk proved too strong with a 6-3 6-4 victory.

Kimberly Birrell and Maya Joint – The all-Australian duo defeated Asia Muhammad and Demi Schuurs 6-4 4-6 7-6 (10-8) in the round of 32 before losing to Gadecki and Krawczyk in the third round.

Overall Assessment:

Australia’s last player in the women’s singles at Wimbledon was out with Kasatkina’s defeat, marking a fairly tame and deflating end to the seven-strong Australian women’s challenge at Wimbledon. Kasatkina was seeking to become the first Australian woman into the fourth round since Ajla Tomljanovic three years ago, but this goal was not achieved.

The tournament represented a significant setback for Australian women’s tennis, with even the experienced former quarterfinalist Tomljanovic and the newly-acquired top-ranked Australian Kasatkina unable to make meaningful progress. The only bright spot was Gadecki’s doubles quarterfinal appearance, though this came at the expense of her compatriots.
