The 2026 Wimbledon women's singles championship will feature two first-time finalists, as the tournament's semifinals are set to begin. The four remaining players—Karolina Muchova, Coco Gauff, Marta Kostyuk, and Linda Noskova—are all making their earliest appearances at this stage of a Grand Slam.
American Coco Gauff, the only remaining competitor with a Grand Slam title to her name, will face Karolina Muchova in the first semifinal. The two players have met seven times previously, though never on grass. Gauff holds a 6-1 advantage in their head-to-head record, but Muchova won their most recent encounter in April 2026.
Following their match, Marta Kostyuk will play Linda Noskova. This will be their second career meeting, with Kostyuk having won their previous match in straight sets during the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open earlier this year.
Both women's semifinals are scheduled to take place on Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 9. The matches will be broadcast on ESPN.
The first semifinal between No. 10 Karolina Muchova and No. 7 Coco Gauff is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET. The second semifinal, featuring No. 12 Marta Kostyuk against No. 9 Linda Noskova, will begin at 10 a.m. ET, or immediately following the conclusion of the first match.
