Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk reaches the Wimbledon semifinals after beating Italy’s Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-2 in Wednesday’s quarterfinal on Centre Court. Multiple outlets report that the match lasts 69 minutes, with Kostyuk controlling play throughout to secure a straight-sets win. The victory sends Kostyuk into her first Wimbledon singles semifinal, according to coverage noting she had not previously reached the tournament’s last four. Kostyuk, seeded 12th, advances to face Czech ninth seed Linda Noskova for a place in her first major final, with the next match scheduled following the quarterfinal round. Several reports also place the result in the context of her recent form, including that she has won 21 of her past 22 matches. Other coverage notes that Paolini, a former Wimbledon finalist in 2024, does not find her rhythm against Kostyuk’s play. Kostyuk previously reached the French Open semifinals, where she lost to eventual champion Mirra Andreeva, and she describes the Centre Court appearance as a personal highlight.
