With four women left in the draw for Wimbledon 2026, the semi-finals are set to begin.
All four participants are first-time semi-finalists at Wimbledon, and notably, three of them have made it further than any previous Grand Slam tournament. Among them, American Coco Gauff stands out as the lone Grand Slam champion.
The semi-final matches kick off with Karolina Muchova facing Gauff. Interestingly, although they’ve met seven times before, this will be their first encounter on grass. Gauff has enjoyed a strong record against Muchova, winning six out of seven matches, but Muchova did secure a victory in their latest meeting in April 2026.
Next up will be Marta Kostyuk against Linda Noskova. This matchup marks their second meeting ever, having previously faced each other in the quarterfinals at the Madrid Open earlier this year, where Kostyuk came out on top in straight sets.
Both matches are scheduled for Center Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
The winners of these semi-finals will earn a spot in the women’s final on Saturday, July 11th.
