Jasmine Paolini on facing Marta Kostyuk next at Wimbledon “I think she’s playing great tennis this year. She improved a lot. She can be really aggressive. She’s a great athlete. She can move really well on court. It’s gonna be a tough, tough match. We have to prepare it well” (via Wimbledon Press)

Linda Noskova has arrived, taking out Elise Mertens in straight sets. Big off the serve, big off the ground, and chill off the court. Gets Marta Kostyuk in a battle of first-time #Wimbledon semi-finalists.

Marta Kostyuk is advancing to her first #Wimbledon semi-final after defeating Jasmine Paolini in straight sets!

Semi-Charmed Kinda Life After making the final four at Roland-Garros, Marta Kostyuk repeats the feat at Wimbledon. The #12 seed sweeps past former runner-up Jasmine Paolini, 6-3, 6-2, to reach her second consecutive grand slam semifinal, setting up a clash with Linda Noskova.

To show just how open the Wimbledon Women's draw is, look at these probabilities to win the tourney 😲 Karolína Muchová = 27.8% Coco Gauff = 25.6% Marta Kostyuk = 24.4% Linda Nosková = 22.2% The parity of the WTA is amazing

Noskova - Kostyuk for a spot into that Wimbledon final as the Czech completes the job against Mertens 6-4,7-5. It says a lot that she can beat someone like Elise despite being very tight out there and spraying mistakes all around. Logically very emotional now. Seems not to believe it.

Twirl, Marta Kostyuk! A beautifully played match! 🇺🇦 Glad to see Jasmine Paolini back at this level. #wimbledon #tennis

Wimbledon is going to have a new female champion again. Didn't see a semis of Gauff, Muchova, Kostyuk and Noskova, but I'm cool with it. Any of them could win. Kostyuk would be a nice victory for Ukraine. But Noskova's looked really impressive.

Marta Kostyuk takes out Jas Pao Pao 6/3 6/2 and into semi finaleeee 💪🏼👀💃🌱🎾 #Wimby

Arthur Fery, a wild card and 114th in the world advanced to the Wimbledon semi-finals by beating Flavio Cobolli 6-4 7-6 (4) 6-0 in a stunning straight-sets win to the surprise of many. Marta Kostyuk overpowered Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-2 to reach her first Wimbledon semifinals against Linda Noskova.

We probably need to at least mention Mertens as the Wimbledon champion if we're embracing the chaos narrative. Likely? No but removing her from the mix feels dicey to me in this draw especially playing Noskova who could fold under pressure. Mertens is already a two time Wimbledon champion!
