Marta Kostyuk: Decision to lift Olympic ban on Russia is terrible

Two-time major champion Gauff first shot to prominence at Wimbledon in 2019, when she reached the fourth round on her tournament debut and at just 15 years old.

Noskova will play Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk in the last four to guarantee a first-time Grand Slam finalist.

No one has more wins in 2026 than Kostyuk and, though she did not play a warm-up event on grass, she showed no sign of nerves against Paolini, making a mockery of the fact that this was her first appearance on Centre Court.
