Unseeded duo Elina Svitolina and Marketa Vondrousova will battle it out for a spot in the 2023 Wimbledon ladies’ singles final on Thursday.
The pair, who both won in three sets against top-five ranked players in the quarterfinals, came into this year’s tournament with little expectation but both now sit just one match away from their first final at SW19.
Svitolina has arguably produced the story of the event this year. Just nine months after she gave birth to her and fellow tennis player Gael Monfils’ first child, the Ukrainian star has stunned the Wimbledon crowd and rivals to reach just the third grand slam semifinal of her career.
Opponent Vondrousova won’t be in the mood to be a part of her potential fairy-tale run to the final, though, as she chases her own success on Centre Court. The 24-year-old Czech has reached just one grand slam final before and will be hoping to take victory here in order to reach the previous heights of her budding career.
