Barbora Krejčíková defeated Elena Rybakina 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the Wimbledon semi-final on grass on 11 July 2024, in a significant upset of the pre-match favourite. Rybakina, who entered as the heavy favourite at 1.18 odds, dominated the opening set to establish control, but Krejčíková mounted a decisive comeback in the second and third sets to secure her place in the final. The Czech player's ability to adjust her game and break Rybakina's rhythm on the grass proved decisive in reversing the momentum after a slow start. The victory represents a landmark result for Krejčíková's grass-court credentials and sets up a final appearance at SW19.
