Both players favour an aggressive style and have all the tools to put on a real spectacle. Who will come out on top? The Ukrainian has been in superb form for several months now, while the Czech star has enjoyed a remarkable run on grass this season. Our editorial team offers their prediction for this captivating clash. Picking the right bet won't be easy, but we're ready to take on the challenge.
Head-to-Head
📊 These players have faced each other just once on tour, with Kostyuk claiming victory on clay earlier this year.
Marta Kostyuk Player Overview
This semifinal comes without Mirra Andreeva, making the task look a bit more straightforward for the Ukrainian. Marta Kostyuk has once again reached the business end of a major - a run fueled by both a bit of luck and some outstanding tennis. Credit also goes to Alexandra Eala, who took Iga Swiatek out of the draw. On the other hand, Kostyuk herself managed to beat Swiatek earlier this season. Few would argue that Marta deserves a shot at the final more than anyone else. Is this the biggest moment of her career?
A quick word about the quarterfinals: Jasmine Paolini simply couldn’t challenge the Ukrainian, as their match wrapped up in just an hour and nine minutes. The Italian’s experience counted for little; she didn’t earn a single break point all match. The numbers tell the story: Kostyuk won 90 percent of points behind her first serve - despite landing just 50 percent of them. Marta also dominated in winners (19 to 8). With such a commanding performance, her opponent never stood a chance. Paolini dropped serve four times and heads home early.

Linda Noskova Player Overview
And here’s where things get interesting. Linda has delivered some impressive performances on grass this year, but her upcoming match is a real test. If she can navigate these challenges and reach the final, her chances of lifting the trophy will be at their peak. To be fair, Noskova hasn’t yet faced such dominant opponents in this tournament. She’s used to taking the initiative with aggressive returns, but there’s a twist: in the semifinals, she’ll also have to handle heavy shots deep to the baseline.
Strange as it may sound, Noskova’s quarterfinal was just as routine as Kostyuk’s, though it lasted longer, clocking in at 1 hour and 46 minutes. Noskova played to her strengths: her serve landed with 70 percent accuracy and she didn’t drop serve once. Mertens, meanwhile, was just trying to survive on her second delivery, winning only 39 percent of those points. It didn’t go well for her. The winner count (30 to 18 in Noskova’s favor) puts any debate about this match to rest.

Key factors
- Marta Kostyuk has claimed victory in 22 of her last 23 matches.
- In their head-to-head clash earlier this season, Kostyuk defeated Noskova in straight sets, 2-0.
- Kostyuk is on a run of nine wins from her last ten outings.
- Over her previous ten matches, Kostyuk has won 75% of all sets played.
- Kostyuk's stats for both games won and service performance remain consistently high.
Expected scenario
The semifinal promises to be a tightly contested battle, with both players in excellent form and capable of racking up games on serve and return alike. However, Marta Kostyuk holds a slight edge in their head-to-head record and has displayed greater consistency throughout the tournament. That tips the balance in her favor for a predicted victory-even if the scoreline is close or the match goes the distance to a deciding set.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Let’s be honest: Kostyuk has earned her place in a Grand Slam final with her recent performances. Marta has been outstanding at Wimbledon, especially considering she had little grass-court preparation after the clay season-a testament to her adaptability. As for Noskova, with all due respect, she has already exceeded expectations. There’s a sense that Linda has perhaps overachieved here. It’s also worth noting that her opponents in London haven’t been on the same level as Marta at her best. In the semifinals, Noskova will need to play at 120 percent just to have a chance. Can she do it? That’s a big question. We’re backing Marta Kostyuk to win and book her spot in the final. The Ukrainian already holds a win over Noskova on clay this season, so she has every reason to believe she can extend that streak.
