The 2024 Wimbledon ladies' singles final is set. Jasmine Paolini of Italy, the No. 7 seed, won an epic three-setter over unseeded Croatian Donna Vekic, an instant classic that makes Paolini the first Italian woman to make a Wimbledon final in the Open Era. Then Barbora Krejcikova, the No. 31 seed from Czech Republic, upset 2022 champion and 2024 favorite Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan, the No. 4 seed.
Krejcikova and Paolini, both in their first Wimbledon final and second Grand Slam final overall, will face off in the ultimate match on Saturday.
