Wimbledon 2024 LIVE!
The women’s singles final takes centre stage at Wimbledon today as Barbora Krejcikova takes on Jasmine Paolini. It is a battle between the Czech former French Open champion and in-form Italian seventh seed, who has now reached back-to-back Grand Slam finals after producing another brilliant run at Roland Garros last month.
Paolini was eventually brushed aside by world No1 Iga Swiatek in a one-sided Paris showpiece, but suffered no lingering hangover from that emphatic loss as she first made the semi-finals at Eastbourne and now another major final, defeating the likes of Madison Keys, Emma Navarro and Donna Vekic along the way - the latter in the longest semi-final showdown in Wimbledon history.
Krejcikova, meanwhile, is a former world No2 and doubles No1 who won her only Grand Slam title to date at the French Open three years ago. She bounced back from an early deficit to stun favourite Elena Rybakina in the last four to give her real confidence for a shot at more major glory, having beaten Paolini in their only previous meeting back in 2018.
