She just did something no one since Serena Williams has.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I’m a little surprised how quickly the MLB All-Star break snuck up on me.. Top seed Iga Świątek, the reigning French Open champion, crashed out in the third round against unseeded Yulia Putintseva. Second seed Coco Gauff was upset in the fourth round. Sixth seed Markéta Vondroušová lost in the first round. Fifth seed Jessica Pegula bowed out in the second round. You get the picture.
The final will feature Barbora Krejčíková against Jasmine Paolini. Krejčíková, currently ranked No. 32 in the world, may be familiar to tennis fans as the winner of the 2021 French Open, where she scored upsets over Elina Svitolina and Gauff en route to her first and only Grand Slam victory. Paolini, though, is more of an unknown. She is currently ranked No. 7 in the world but had never won a match at Wimbledon before this year.
Still, even with her strong showing at Roland Garros, Paolini came into Wimbledon with a career record of 13–18 in Grand Slams. That’s a 42% winning percentage. She’d also never won a main draw match at the All England Club, failing to advance out of qualifying in 2017, ’18 and ’19 and then losing in the first round in ’21, ’22 and ’23.
