Wimbledon order of play and Thursday’s schedule

Must read

The Wimbledon semi-finals begin on Thursday with former champion Elena Rybakina looking a strong favourite to win the women’s singles title.

Rybakina, the champion two years ago, takes on former French Open winner Barbora Krejcikova on women’s semi-finals day on Centre Court, while Jasmine Paolini meets Donna Vekic in a meeting of two first-time Wimbledon semi-finalists.

Rybakina was in impressive form as she dismissed Elina Sviolina on Wednesday while Krejcikova also had a good win against the in-form Jelena Ostapenko. Krejcikova leads the head-to-head 2-0 against Rybakina but this will be their first clash on grass.

The other semi-final will produce an unexpected finalist as Paolini takes on Vekic. Paolini, who reached the French Open final last month, is the first Italian to play in the Wimbledon semi-finals while Vekic is through to her first grand slam final after 43 attempts.

The winners of the two semi-finals will contend for the Venus Rosewater Dish in Saturday’s final, starting at 2pm.
