Wimbledon's Revolving Door of Women's Champions Spins on with Surprise Last Four - New Straits Times Online
A first-time women’s champion is guaranteed as Coco Gauff, Karolina Muchova, Marta Kostyuk and Linda Noskova reach the last four.
- On Thursday, Wimbledon hosts its women's semifinals at the All England Club, featuring an unlikely quartet: Coco Gauff, Karolina Muchova, Linda Noskova, and Marta Kostyuk competing for the Venus Rosewater Dish.
- World number seven Gauff, the tournament's highest remaining seed, reached the semifinals despite years of poor grass performances, stating, "Honestly, I was writing it off a little bit." The American is the only semifinalist with prior Grand Slam titles.
- Czech players have won the Venus Rosewater Dish seven times since tennis turned professional nearly six decades ago, including two titles by Martina Navratilova. Muchova and Noskova now aim to set up the first all-Czech Grand Slam final.
- Ukrainian 12th seed Marta Kostyuk hopes her run brings distraction to her war-ravaged country, saying, "I'm hoping it would mean a lot." Noskova observed the tournament is "wide open," with a guaranteed first-time champion for the ninth successive year.
- Gauff holds a 6-1 advantage over Muchova heading into their semifinal, yet Muchova remains optimistic, saying, "I'm happy we have 0-0 on the grass." Noskova recalled being "stunned" sharing the court with idol Petra Kvitova, hoping to follow in the Czech legend's footsteps.
