Karolina Pliskova described her first Wimbledon semi-final as feeling “like a dream” after a run of poor form.
The Czech former world number one had never been beyond the fourth round at the All England Club but is yet to drop a set and eased to a 6-2 6-2 victory over surprise package Viktorija Golubic in the last eight.
Pliskova has been tipped as a future grand-slam champion ever since she reached the US Open final in 2016 but she has never made it that far at any of the majors since and came into Wimbledon under the radar after a disappointing season.
