Marta Kostyuk reaches the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time after beating Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-2 on Centre Court. The match sees Paolini, who reached the 2024 Wimbledon final, struggle to find her rhythm while Kostyuk plays aggressively and capitalizes on key moments. Multiple outlets describe Kostyuk’s strong form and momentum entering the win, including a recent run of results that includes 21 wins in her past 22 matches. After the victory, Kostyuk says she had not initially planned for a win at Wimbledon, adding that she wanted to enjoy the occasion. Reports also note that the result follows another deep run earlier this season, with Kostyuk reaching the French Open last four before losing to eventual champion Mirra Andreeva. With this straight-sets win, Kostyuk becomes the first-time Wimbledon semifinalist among the pair, setting up a semifinal appearance as she continues her surge at the All England Club.
