No. 7 Jasmine Paolini and No. 31 Barbora Krejcikova weren’t even outsiders when the 2024 Wimbledon Championships got underway in London two weeks ago. Paolini was seen more as a clay-court specialist after her spectacular run to the French Open final last month, while Krejcikova, a former Roland Garros champion, has endured a terrible 2024 season, winning just three of her last seven WTA matches, including first-round exits in five of those seven tournaments. Still, they adapted well to the grass conditions and played to their strengths to reach the final. Paolini’s quick-court moves defeated hard-hitting Donna Vekic in the semifinals, while Krejcikova executed her serve with precision and neutralized Elena Rybakina’s deadly serve to reach her first Grand Slam final since winning the 2021 French Open.

How did Jasmine Paolini and Barbora Krejcikova reach the 2024 Wimbledon final?

On Thursday, the Italian became the first woman since Serena Williams in 2016 to reach the finals of the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year, marking a breakthrough season for Paolini. The 28-year-old had never won a tour-level match on grass, with a 0-3 record on the surface, until 2024, when she reached the semifinals at the Rothesay International.

Paolini then defeated Sara Sorribes Tormo to claim her first Wimbledon win, before going on to beat Greet Minnen, Bianca Andreescu, Madison Keys, Emma Navarro and Vekic to reach her second straight Grand Slam final. Krejcikova, also 28, who also struggled on the surface, survived a tough opening round against Veronika Kudermetova to win 7-6(4), 6-7(1), 7-5, before defeating Katie Volynets, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, No. 11 Danielle Collins and No. 14 Jelena Ostapenko, all in straight sets, before beating title favourite Rybakina in the semi-finals to reach her first final of the season.

One-on-one record

Paolini and Krejcikova have never met in a WTA main draw. Their only ever confrontation came in qualifying for the 2018 Australia Open, where the Czechs lost just three games en route to a straight-sets victory.

What can you expect in the final between Jasmine Paolini and Barbora Krejcikova?

No woman outside the top five has reached the Roland Garros and Wimbledon finals in the same season in the past 50 years. Twice, Paolini found herself a set down and a break in the third, but her resilience helped her come back. That’s probably what she’ll rely on most in the final. But for Krejcikova, once she’s in business, she’ll be a force to be reckoned with. Since the start of the French Open in 2021, the Czech has won six of her nine finals. And in the final, her serve, again, and that deadly backhand slice will count most.
