Of the two due on Centre Court, Krejcikova is probably the slight favourite. Firstly, she has more experience in the latter stages of major tournaments and won the 2021 French Open but this is particularly the case in doubles tennis where she has won seven Grand Slams including Wimbledon twice. Secondly, she was coached and mentored by fellow Czech and 1998 Wimbledon winner Jana Novotna who knew a thing or two about playing in SW19.
Paolini, however, is in the form of her career and after making her first Grand Slam final at the French Open last month (losing to Swiatek) can now add Wimbledon to that list and claim to be the first woman to reach the last stage of both competitions for the first time since Serena Williams in 2016. Whether the agile and aggressive Italian carries that momentum into the final remains to be seen.
