Jasmine Paolini reached her first Wimbledon final with 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (10/8) win over Donna Vekic.
LONDON – Italy's Jasmine Paolini reached her first Wimbledon final with a stirring fightback to beat tearful Croatian Donna Vekic 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 on Thursday in the longest women's semi-final at the All England Club.
After surviving the emotional encounter with Vekic, Paolini could celebrate becoming the first Italian woman to reach the Wimbledon final. Without a win at the All England Club heading into the tournament, Paolini now has six victories under her belt and has dropped just two sets in the process."I was struggling at the beginning. I was serving really bad, so I'm so happy. This match I will remember forever."
Unloading baseline winners and deft drop-shots at will, the Croatian broke again in the seventh game and emphatically served out the set.
