Wimbledon 2024: Team Yonex stars Paolini and De Groot impress on the grass

London, ENGLAND- Women's singles finalist Jasmine Paolini (ITA) and wheelchair women's singles champion Diede de Groot (NED) were among the Team Yonex stars who took center stage on the Wimbledon grass.

It was a breakthrough fortnight for Paolini, who became the first Italian to play in a women's singles final at the All England Club, where she came within a few games against Barbora Krejcikova of lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish. Until this summer, she hadn't won a match on the Wimbledon grass but she ended up reaching her second Grand Slam final of the summer, after appearing in her first major final on the clay of Roland-Garros last month. With her energy and bounce and smiles, Paolini has quickly become a new favourite for the Centre Court crowd and across the All England Club.

One of the most memorable matches of the fortnight was Paolini's victory in an all-Yonex showdown with Donna Vekic (CRO), which lasted for almost three hours and was the longest women's singles semi-final in the history of Wimbledon. With Vekic making the last four at Wimbledon for the first time and Elena Rybakina (KAZ) also reaching that stage, three of the four semi-finalists were playing with Yonex racquets.

15^th Grand Slam in a row for De Groot

Diede de Groot's incredible run continued at the All England Club with the Dutchwoman taking the wheelchair women's singles title for her fifteenth consecutive Grand Slam with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Aniek van Koot.
