Kostyuk, the Ukrainian 12th seed who reached the semi-finals at the French Open last month, defeated 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-2. The 21-year-old Noskova, seeded ninth, saw off Elise Mertens of Belgium 6-3, 7-5 to make it 10 wins out of 11 on grass this year.
Their advances to the semi-finals highlight the open nature of this year's women's draw at Wimbledon, with defending champion Iga Swiatek and world's top two players Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina all falling in the first week. newsindata.com
