00:00Now let's get international semi-final action yesterday at

00:07the Championships Wimbledon in the women's draw has been

00:10hectic and chaotic and uncertain. Barbara Krejcikova

00:15gets the upset yesterday over the 2022 Wimbledon champ and

00:19the hefty favorite still remaining Elena Rybakina.

00:22Krejcikova is going to be the favorite against Jasmine

00:25Paolini in the women's championship match come

00:29tomorrow. Talk about a shocker DRS. Yeah, just wait till she

00:34has to play. Who's she play? Svantech in the final?

00:36Look, I'm going to keep it up. No, no. Iga got bounced a long

00:39time ago. Jasmine Paolini. Really? Who has made her second

00:42consecutive Grand Slam title match. She also did so last

00:47month in Paris at Roland Garros. She's the underdog.

00:51Impressive there. Yeah, we're gonna need. You know what? We

00:53need a breakdown of these matches here. Hopefully, the

00:55weekend shows on the Sports Grid Network will help us out

00:58with that. That's what I'm hoping because I need a primer

01:00here before the women's and the men's finals. That's just what

01:02I'm saying. Really well said. Krejcikova, by the way.

01:05Krejcikova, 190-1 before the tournament to win the

01:09women's title. It is semifinal Friday in the men's draw.

01:13Carlos Alcaraz and Danil Medvedev. Alcaraz, the reigning

01:16champ, minus 350 to advance back to his second consecutive

01:20championship match at Wimbledon in the other semifinal. Novak

01:24Djokovic, a hefty favorite, minus 900 against Lorenzo

01:28Muzzetti, plus 590, the underdog. Will Djokovic have a

01:33hostile crowd today in London or one that is not ruining him?

01:39Yeah, hopefully, he does get that but also keep in mind, we

01:41weren't expecting him maybe to even play in this Wimbledon

01:44tournament and you need breaks to win championships. So, for

01:47that need to get a break where he didn't have to play an extra

01:49match here, that's huge. Looking forward to this weekend's

01:52action but who knows? Maybe the stars will provide that drama

01:55on Sunday afternoon. Carlos Alcaraz, the title favorite

01:59right now to win two straight at minus 120. Djokovic looking

02:02for his eighth Wimbledon crown that would tie Roger Federer

02:06for the most all-time. He has the most individual Grand Slam

02:09titles in the open era, man or woman, at 24 of those.
