ELENA RYBAKINA became the final woman to complete the semi-final lineup at Wimbledon this year, following former champion Simona Halep into the last four.

Rybakina hit an unforced error to blow her first match point and Tomljanovic followed up with an ace before hitting an error herself to go back to deuce. And the 17th seed kept her momentum going in the third, quickly taking a 3-0 lead to mark her seventh game in a row - more than a moral bagel for the Australian. Tomljanovic saved another break point to finally snap Rybakina’s streak, getting on the board at 1-3. She was finally able to break the Tomljanovic serve with a winner after a 14-shot rally but the 29-year-old broke straight back, winning two games in a row herself to level things at 2-2. She blew the first with an error before the 17th seed saved the second with a dropshot winner but Tomljanovic eventually broke to take an early lead at 2-1. But it was suddenly all Rybanika, as the Kazakh set up triple break point in her opponent’s first service game of the second set. It was Tomljanovic and Rybakina up first as they took to Court 1 at 1pm, and the Australian quickly set up three break points in the third game of the match.
