Just four women remain in the 2026 Wimbledon draw and it’s time for the semifinals.
All four semifinals are first-time semifinalists at Wimbledon, and for three of them, its the furthest they’ve ever advanced in a Grand Slam tournament. The only Grand Slam winner still standing is American Coco Gauff.
The semifinal round gets started with Karolina Muchova facing off against Gauff. Muchova and Gauff have faced off seven times in their careers, but never on grass. Gauff has won six of the seven meetings, but Muchova won their most recent meeting in April 2026.
Their match will be followed by Marta Kostyuk vs. Linda Noskova. It’s their second career meeting following the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open earlier this year. Kostyuk won that meeting in straight sets.
Both semifinal matches will take place on Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
The winners of each semifinal will advance into the Saturday, July 11 women’s final.
