To put it briefly

Emotions were running high on the Centre Court after witnessing Barbora Krejcikova advance to her first Wimbledon final. The atmosphere became even more intense when the Czech player mentioned Jana Novotna in her post-match interview, who had been her mentor in the early stages of her career and sadly passed away in 2017. Novotna has been a significant inspiration for Barbora, particularly on days like today, where she surely drew that extra strength needed to turn the match around against Elena Rybakina and once again reach a Grand Slam final.

Ivan Ljubicic speaks with Sky Sports Italia about how he saw all the controversy surrounding the clash between Novak Djokovic and Holger Rune a couple of days ago at Wimbledon 2024. The former coach of Roger Federer explains that he doesn't quite understand the behavior of the crowd: "This is an original way, because I don't see any logic in celebrating with booing when a player scores a point. But he (Djokovic) interpreted it that way, using it to focus more."

The year for Jasmine Paolini is turning out to be spectacular in terms of results, as she will once again reach a Grand Slam final for the second time in 2024. Thus, she is signing her best year at 28, an age that some might consider late. However, the legendary Billie Jean King believes that every player has their own timing and that everything comes at the right moment, it is never too late. "Everyone has their own timing, some players reach the peak of their game when they are young, while others probably just need a little more time to understand, learn, grow from all perspectives and then put it all together. From this point of view, we are witnessing a truly rare edition of Wimbledon and I refer to the women's singles: Rybakina is 25 years old, but the other semifinalists are between 28 and 29 years old," she told Ubitennis. Furthermore, the former American number 1 acknowledged how well the grass suits Paolini:  "She is an amazing player, I have always appreciated her and I am very happy that in these last months she has managed to definitively express all her talent, completing her tennis maturity. She has adapted perfectly to the grass, which in my opinion is perfect for her characteristics: she plays very well at the net and has a truly spectacular forehand."
