Overview

  • Gabriela Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani beat Shuko Aoyama and En-shuo Liang 7-5, 6-3 in the Wimbledon semifinal to reach the women's doubles final.
  • The No. 2 seeds have not dropped a set at the grass-court Grand Slam so far and moved through the draw without facing a break point in the semifinal.
  • In the second set they earned a decisive break to go up 5-3 and then forced an error to convert their first match point.
  • Coverage differs on their season title count, with CBC reporting three tournament wins this year and The Canadian Press describing Wimbledon as a chance to earn a fourth.
  • They will face either Hanyu Guo and Kristina Mladenovic or Xinyu Jiang and Yifan Xu in the final, and a victory would give the pair their first Grand Slam title of the season after earlier major semifinal exits.
