Alfie Hewett looks a relieved man on court three as he raises his racquet to the stands.

He continues his quest for an elusive Wimbledon men's wheelchair singles title, and will face either Argentine third seed Gustavo Fernandez or the Netherlands' Tom Egberink in the semi-finals.

But I'm worried about his potential shoulder injury. Hewett needed a medical timeout halfway through the first set.

Jasmine Paolini's second serve has to be good to keep Donna Vekic on her toes a little bit.

Great scrambling from Jasmine Paolini to get the ball and ask the extra question.

Donna Vekic knows that was a huge opportunity missed. Vekic needs to drive those forehands when she gets the opportunity.

Jasmine Paolini executes a difficult volley at the net, bringing cheers from the crowd. The Italian smiles as she walks back to the baseline - she enjoyed that moment.

Paolini then secures the hold and lets out a shout in celebration.

Can that be a turning point for her?

A double fault from Jasmine Paolini brings Donna Vekic a break point.

The crowd are trying to encourage the Italian now - they want this contest to last.

Vekic has the chance after taking control of a rally but she hits her forehand just a bit too long and it's deuce.

Jasmine Paolini can only focus on her own game and try to just stay with her in the hopes that Donna Vekic will drop her level a little bit and then she can take over.

Donna Vekic was fabulous during that first set and you can watch the moment she wrapped it up below.

Jasmine Paolini needs to spread the court, if she can get Vekic off balance she's not as lethal.

When Vekic has her feet underneath her that is when Paolini can dictate.

Half a chance for Jasmine Paolini at 15-30 but an unlucky bounce off the net helps Donna Vekic even the score in this game.

The Italian then whips a forehand long with Vekic off-balance - that was a chance for a break point.

The Croat takes advantage with a backhand winner down the line for the hold, followed by a celebratory roar.

Alfie Hewett breaks right at the end of the second set and will now serve for the match.

Court three were treated to a classic game on Stephane Houdet's serve just now. The Frenchman tried everything to stop Hewett's powerful returns, even having a go at a cheeky underarm serve, although he found the net on that occasion.

Jasmine Paolini has not been allowed to show her flair and it was important for her to start well. She needs to try a few different things.

The crowd want to engage and connect with her, it will go a long way getting the crowd in her favour.

Ah, just when you think this second set is heading in one direction, we take a turn and head in another.

Stephane Houdet plays a backhand down the line to break back - that's two breaks of serve for Houdet and Alfie Hewett in this set.

Make that three breaks of serve for Hewett, who requires 10 attempts to get through a mammoth game!

Hewett will serve for the match.

Jasmine Paolini needed a response and she finds it as Donna Vekic finds the net to hand the Italian the first game.

The 28-year-old celebrates with a cry before repeating some words of encouragement to herself.

She's starting to get vocal out there.

Donna Vekic produced a very strong first set.

Very impressive, not a lot of unforced errors. Very high level of tennis from Vekic today.

We are down to the semi-finals in the men’s and women’s semi-finals with seven countries still having someone left in.

Croatia, Czech Republic, Kazakhstan, Russia, Serbia, Spain all have one player left in, while Italy are the only nation to have two - Jasmine Paolini in the women’s and Lorenzo Musetti in the men’s.

Indeed, these are peak times for Italian tennis.

The men’s team are the current holders of the Davis Cup, Jannik Sinner is top of the world rankings and three years ago Matteo Berrettini became the first Italian to reach a Wimbledon singles final.

And now Paolini has become the first Italian to reach the women’s singles semi-finals at Wimbledon.

Can she respond in this second set? Donna Vekic has been in the ascendency so far.

Donna Vekic has been fabulous, she played that like a veteran.

You wouldn't know Donna Vekic is playing in her first Grand Slam semi-final as she mixes power with deft touch magnificently, slamming home an ace before out-playing Jasmine Paolini again using her drop shot.

She wraps up the set with another unreturnable first serve.

Sometimes things just come together for a player at the right moment.

I think that is definitely happening for Donna Vekic.

Win or lose in this match, this is a real springboard for Vekic for the rest of her career.
