London: Barbora Krejcikova will face Italy’s Jasmine Paolini in the Wimbledon final after defeating former champion Elena Rybakina with a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Thursday.

Krejcikova’s victory sets up a final clash with seventh seed Paolini on Saturday. “I’m so proud about my game and my fighting spirit today,” said Krejcikova after her hard-fought win.
