Czech Karolina Pliskova: Three years after making a breakthrough by winning the French Open title in 2021, Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic stormed back after losing the first set to storm into her second Grand Slam singles final after a stirring semifinal win at the Wimbledon on Thursday.

The No.31 seed Krejcikova booked her spot in Saturday's summit clash after battling past No.4 seed Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, for a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 comeback win in the second semifinal on Thursday.

Krejcikova took 2 hours and 7 minutes to turn around the match and seal victory on Centre Court and will now meet Italy's Jasmine Paolini, who had earlier scored a hard-fought victory over Donna Vekic of Croatia earlier in the day.
