Follow all the action as the women’s semi-finals take place on Thursday at Wimbledon.

Ons Jabeur, the No 2 seed, opened the action on Centre Court against her good friend Tatjana Maria. Both players had reached a grand slam semi-final for the first time in their careers, but Jabeur was clear favourite.

The Tunisian justified that tag with a superb performance in a compelling contest as she triumphed in three sets - 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 - to become the first Arab player to reach a Wimbledon final.

In the second semi-final, Simona Halep faced Elena Rybakina. Halep, the 2019 champion, had regained top form after a couple of years of struggle but was blown off the court by an unstoppable Rybakina, who triumphed 6-3, 6-3 with a dominant display of big serving and powerful groundstrokes.
