WIMBLEDON, England — Three months after returning from maternity leave, Elina Svitolina reached the Wimbledon semifinals by beating top-ranked Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2 Tuesday.

The 28-year-old Ukrainian gave birth to her daughter in October and returned to the WTA tour in April.

Swiatek, a four-time major champion, won the French Open last month but was playing in the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time.
