Jasmine Paolini reached Wimbledon’s quarter-finals by beating Maria Sakkari in three sets. Friday’s match earns her Centre Court time on tomorrow against Alex Eala. Eala stunned Iga Swiatek simply to get there.
Paolini described Eala a formidable player. Two more wins could put one of them into Wimbledon history books as the first last-four contender from their country.
