Wimbledon 31-seed Barbora Krejcikova reached her first Wimbledon semifinal after defeating 13-seed Jelena Ostapenko
reached her first Wimbledon semifinal under blue skies on Wednesday with a 6-4, 7-6 win over Latvian 13th seedThe Czech 31st seed kept her composure from the back of the court to force her opponent into 35 unforced errors across the match, as Ostapenko's bid for a second Grand Slam title since her first in 2017 unraveled on Court One.
"There have been many doubts from the inside, but also from outside -- from the outside world," said Krejcikova, who arrived at the All England Club with a record of just 6-9 in 2024."But I'm super happy than I never gave up and that I'm standing here right now."Ostapenko, 27, had power in her serve but struggled to place it, landing less than 50% of her first serves during the opening set.
The match went to a tiebreaker, and a brilliant crosscourt forehand from Krejcikova found the far line to give her a mini-break from which she went on to close out the match, sealing her first win over the Latvian in their four most recent encounters.
