Highlights of the fifth day at the Wimbledon tennis championships on Friday (times GMT):
LONDON :Seventh seed Jasmine Paolini became the first Italian woman to reach the Wimbledon final after defeating Croatian Donna Vekic 2-6 6-4 7-6(8) on Wednesday in the longest women's semi-final at the All England Club.
Czech 31st seed Barbora Krejcikova will face Italy's Jasmine Paolini in the Wimbledon final after battling back for a shock 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over former champion Elena Rybakina on Thursday. Just hours after Paolini beat tearful Croatian Donna Vekic 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (10/8) in the longest women's semi-final at the All England Club, it was Krejcikova's turn to dig deep for victory against fourth seeded Rybakina in two hours and seven minutes on Centre Court. Krejcikova faces seventh seed Paolini on Saturday in what will be the second Grand Slam final of the 28-year-old's career after her French Open triumph in 2021. "I'm so proud about my game and my fighting spirit today," said Krejcikova.
LONDON : Coco Gauff resembled a lost soul on Centre Court as her hopes of reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time were turned to dust following a 6-4 6-3 mauling by fellow American Emma Navarro on Sunday.
LONDON — Coco Gauff has never made it past the fourth round at Wimbledon, and she exited at that stage again on Sunday, eliminated by Emma Navarro 6-4, 6-3 in an all-American matchup.
Coco Gauff failed to smash through her grass ceiling as she failed to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals again.
LONDON :Jasmine Paolini continued to carry the flag for Italian tennis on the women's side as the seventh seed downed former U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu 7-6(4) 6-1 at Wimbledon on Friday to make the fourth round for the first time.
