The 2024 Wimbledon Women’s singles category has an interesting set of contestants in the Round of 8. With defending champion Marketa Vondrousova knocked out in the first round and the top three seeds also not in contention for the title - Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff got knocked out, while Aryna Sabalenka withdrew ahead of the tournament- the first set of quarter-finals has 4 players who’ve never before been to that stage of the tournament.
The first quarter-final is between Lulu Sun and Donna Vekic, who’d never played each other before. Sun’s previous best was as a qualifier in 2022, while Vekic’s was a 3rd round encounter in 2023. French Open runner-up Jasmine Paolini will play in the second quarter-final on July 9. She’s never before gone past Round 1in the tournament and faces Emma Navarro, who has a similar track record. However, in the head-to-head encounters, it is Navarro who has the advantage over Paolini, having won all three of their earlier matches.
