Wimbledon 2024: Rybakina Cruises Past Svitolina Into Semifinals; Krejcikova Halts Ostapenko's Run
Billie Jean King: Fourth seed and 2022 winner Elena Rybakina stormed past Elina Svitolina into the women's singles semifinals at the Wimbledon 2024, handing the No.21 seed a straight sets defeat in a last-eight stage match at the Centre Court here on Wednesday.
In another quarterfinal clash, No.31 seed Barbora Krejcikova came from a 1-4 deficit in the second set to reach her first Wimbledon semifinal with a 6-4, 7-6(4) defeat of No.13 seed Jelena Ostapenko in 1 hour and 40 minutes. The 2021 French Open winner Krejcikova will take on Rybakina in the final, hoping to extend the 2-0 head-to-head lead over Rybakina in their semifinal showdown.
Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, maintained her impressive record at the event, taking only 61 minutes to oust last year's semifinalist Svitolina 6-3, 6-2 in a last-eight stage clash. She thus reached the third Grand Slam semifinal of her career and also took a 3-2 lead in her head-to-head with Svitolina.
