Wimbledon women's semi-finalists enter uncharted territory

Gauff, a two-time major winner, is the only player among them to have previously won a Grand Slam title, making her a favorite. She will face Muchova, against whom she holds a 6-1 head-to-head record, including wins in the 2023 US Open semi-finals and this year's Australian Open last 16. Muchova, a 2023 French Open runner-up, is seeking her second Grand Slam final.

In the other semi-final, Kostyuk, who has won 21 of her last 22 matches, will play Noskova. Kostyuk recently reached her second successive Grand Slam semi-final and is expected to enter the world's top 10 rankings. Noskova, the youngest Wimbledon semi-finalist since 2018, secured her first Grand Slam semi-final spot after winning the Berlin Open, her first grass-court title.
