Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk made quick work of Italy’s Jasmine Paolini on a sweltering Centre Court to speed into the Wimbledon semi-finals 6-3 6-2 on Wednesday.
The 12th seed was a woman in a hurry from the start as she took the first set in 36 minutes, breaking Paolini to go 3-2 up and then again at 5-3.
With Queen Camilla watching from the Royal Box, the crowd tried to cheer on the underdog but Kostyuk closed out remorselessly on 69 minutes with a second match point on the Italian’s serve.
