 won through with a two-hour and 51-minute rollercoaster win over the Croatian Dona Vekic, that the longest ever Wimbledon women's semi-final. Paolini finally closed out the battle 10 points to eight in a final set tiebreaker. Krejcikova, a former French Open champion, reached her second Grand Slam final after a three-set upset over the inconsistent fourth seed Elena Rybakina, the former champion, making 37 unforced errors. I'm Graeme Agass.
