Ukrainian wild card Elina Svitolina is looking to reach her first Wimbledon final and keep her fairytale run going as the women take centre stage on semi-finals day at the All England Club.

Svitolina, who beat world number one Iga Swiatek in the quarter-finals, takes on Czech player Marketa Vondrousova first up on Centre Court. Svitolina is looking to reach her first Grand Slam final while Vondrousova is eyeing a second major final, after reaching the final of the French Open in 2019.

The second semi-final sees Ons Jabeur - last year’s finalist - take on world number two Aryna Sabalenka. Jabeur beat her conqueror last year Elina Rybakina in her quarter-final while Sabalenka comfortably saw off the challenge of Madison Keys.

The action on Centre Court concludes with the mixed doubles final between Mate Pavic of Croatia and Lyudmyla Kichenok from Ukraine against Belgium’s Joran Vliegen and China’s Yifan Xu .
