"To still be qualified to play in this great stadium with 100 years of history, what a privilege! Nobody can win all the time, and nobody can stop me from trying all the time!"
This is zhang Shuai's post on her social media platform today, she just ended the Wimbledon women's doubles semifinal together with Mertens, 6-2 3-6 6-3 defeat Collins/Krawczyk.
It was zhang's first career women's doubles final at Wimbledon, while her partner Mertens had reached the final here for the second year in a row, and the Belgian is now one step away from defending her title.
As the no. 1 seed in the women's doubles this year, Zhang Shuai/Mertens has eliminated the kichennock/Olaru, Guaraci/Klepach, and they will play no. 2 seed Kryzkova/Siniakova for the final title.
The Czech duo, who have played together for a long time and have won a number of major titles together, played together 6-2 in the semifinals of l. Chicenock and Jelena Ostapenko to return to the Wimbledon women's doubles final for the first time in four years.
It was the sixth Grand Slam final for Kryjtskova and Siniakova, who won the title at the Australian Open earlier this year, and the Czech pair have won 11 grand Slam matches this season.
In men's singles, rafael Nadal pulled out of his semi-final against Kyrgios because of a torn abdominal muscle, giving the Australian an automatic place in tomorrow's final.
In the other semi-final, top seed Novak Djokovic overcame a slow start to drop a set 2-6 to beat British number one David Konoli 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-4 to meet Kyrgios in the final.
Djokovic is playing in his 32nd Career Grand Slam final (surpassing Roger Federer for the first time in the men's open era), has won 27 straight wimbledon victories (eighth final) and is one step away from a fourth straight title.
Djokovic and Kyrgios have met twice before, with the Australian winning both of their matches, but both of those were already in the 2017 season and both took place on hard court.
Of course, today's Wimbledon's biggest highlight is the women's singles title, from Asia's Leba Kina against Africa's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, this match will be held at 9 PM Beijing time tonight.
So who do you think will win this year's Wimbledon women's singles title?
