Jasmine Paolini just looks like she's having so much fun out on the tennis court. She's going to come out here with a massive smile and pumping up the crowd.

Jasmine Paolini is so smiley. Paolini and Carlos Alcaraz are on a different level. They love the sport, they love to be pushed.

I will be rooting for Paolini today, of course she has a root in Ghana. Good luck Jasmine Paolini.

We started with 128 players, but only two are left.
There's just one gap left to fill on the women's singles draw.
It all comes down to this.

If you're not feeling butterflies then you're not human. Many times I had to play Martina and I kind of dreaded it because I knew she would serve and volley me and probably win the match.
It changes your life when you win Wimbledon, it is so global.

Image source, Getty ImagesChecking back over the head-to-head record can often be a useful way of trying to gauge how a meeting might play out - however, there's not much to go off when it comes to Italy's Jasmine Paolini and Czech Barbora Krejcikova.
It's six-and-a-half years since Paolini and Krejcikova crossed paths and the circumstances are very different.
The pair, who are both looking to place their hands on the Venus Rosewater Dish today, have only met once previously and that was in the first round of qualifying for the Australian Open in 2018.
Krejcikova won 6-1 6-2 but didn't make it to the main draw in Melbourne, losing in three sets to Ukrainian wildcard Marta Kostyuk.
Purcell/Thompson v Heliovaara/Patten

Henry Patten gets the chance to play in a first Wimbledon men's doubles final after knocking out fellow Briton and 2023 champion Neal Skupski.
Patten and Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara sent ninth seeds Skupski and Michael Venus of New Zealand out in the semi-finals on Thursday.
They will face Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson in today's final on Centre Court, after the women's singles has finished.
“It feels pretty good. I am not sure it has quite set in. I don't think it had hit us - neither of us realised what had happened," said Patten.
“I’m trying to not think about Grand Slam champions. But it’s every Brit’s dream, every tennis player’s dream.”

As a Czech fan, I've been enjoying the last two women's Wimbledons so much. Fabulous matches that Vondrousova (2023 champion) and Krejcikova have played. It would be a dream to have two Czechs in a row on Wimbledon's winners board. So come on, Barbora; make this dream come true today.

Barbora Krejcikova will be hoping to emulate her friend, mentor and former Wimbledon champion Jana Novotna when she faces Jasmine Paolini in today's final.
Fellow Czech Novotna was a winner here in 1998, but died from ovarian cancer in 2017 at the age of 49.
Krejcikova wiped away tears as she paid tribute to Novotna after making an incredible comeback to defeat Elena Rybakina in Thursday's semi-final.
"I just miss her very much, I miss her so much," said. Krejcikova.
"Definitely I remember thinking about Jana a lot. I have so many beautiful memories and when I step on the court here, I am fighting for every ball and I am sure that is what she would want me to do."

There were a few people crowding round this ladies' singles honours board this morning, getting photos.
They know it's the last time it will look like this. By the end of the day, there will be a new name in white.
If Jasmine Paolini wins, she'll be the first Italian name on the list.
Barbora Krejcikova, meanwhile, would join her compatriots Petra Kvitova and Jana Novotna, while her name would be right under Marketa Vondrousova's, making it back-to-back Czech wins.
De Groot 6-4 6-4 Van Koot
Dutch star Diede de Groot has earlier today clinched a sixth Wimbledon women's wheelchair singles title with a 6-4 6-4 win over compatriot Aniek van Koot.
Watch how she did it here...

The band (see 13:14 entry) have just played Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline, which seems to have just been adopted as a sporting song at every event, everywhere.
Let's hope today's final is so good, so good.

The 28-year-old became the first woman to reach back-to-back French Open and Wimbledon finals since Serena Williams in 2016.
She also became the first Italian woman to reach a Wimbledon final and can become the first Italian, female or male, to become a champion at the All England Club if she can defeat Barbora Krejcikova.
"I love playing tennis. It is a dream. I was watching finals when I was a kid at Wimbledon. I am just enjoying it and trying to live in the present," said Paolini.

It was a record-breaking semi-final Wimbledon will not forget.
Two hours and 51 minutes of brilliant sporting drama as Italian seventh seed Jasmine Paolini defeated unseeded Donna Vekic 2-6 6-4 7-6 (10-8) in the longest women's semi-final in the tournament's history.
Paolini had never won a match here before July. She has now won six in a row, but none more nerve-wracking than this.
After losing a bruising opening set, Paolini was in trouble. At 4-3 and a break down in the final set, Vekic was two games from glory, despite being hampered by an injury to her right arm.
Paolini fought back and had two match points as the rollercoaster contest entered its fittingly dramatic conclusion.
In a thrilling 10-point tie-break, Paolini trailed 3-1, 6-5 and 8-7 but, to the delight of a thrilled Centre Court, the hugely popular Italian, with a never-say-die attitude, sealed a remarkable win.
"It's incredible when you're able to witness two athletes giving their absolute all, leaving everything on the court," said 2021 champion Ash Barty on BBC TV.
"The uncertainty, the unpredictability of sport - it can be crushing but it can be so euphoric as well, and that's what we've seen. "It has to be exhausting going through that emotional rollercoaster.
"On one side of the net it's the crushing defeat, it's demoralising and then for Jasmine Paolini it's the euphoria of being in a Wimbledon final. Sport is cruel, isn't it?"

There are plenty of fans walking to their seats and asking stewards and fellow supporters to take a picture of them posing in front of the greatest background in tennis, Centre Court.
While they do so a Wimbledon band is playing plenty of upbeat tunes. It's the kind of music you can march to.
I've heard a rumour that the BBC Wimbledon theme - Light and Tuneful by Keith Mansfield - may be on the set list.
Krejcikova v Paolini
Today's final sees Czech 31st seed Barbora Krejcikova take on Italian seventh seed Jasmine Paolini with the pair bidding for their first Wimbledon singles title.
Krejcikova, 28, stunned fourth seed Elena Rybakina in the semi-finals and will be hoping to add to the French Open trophy she won in 2021.
Paolini, meanwhile, has followed up her first Grand Slam singles final appearance at Roland Garros last month with another fine run at Wimbledon, defeating Donna Vekic in the semi-finals in the longest women's semi-final in the tournament's history.
Remarkably, 28-year-old Paolini had never won a match at Wimbledon until this year.
