The 137th edition of The Championships at Wimbledon have absolutely flown by so far in 2024, and we're already at the business end of the competition as we count down the few hours remaining until the WTA Women's Singles Final from Centre Court.
We're down to two, and although we haven't quite seen the history-making run to the decider of an unseeded player, the 2024 Women's Singles Final still features two players who few would have predicted to topple the best in the world — both of whom have never progressed so far at Wimbledon and at present have just one major title between them.
Coming into the tournament as seventh seed, Italy's Jasmine Paolini has shot up the world rankings in 2024 in her quest for a maiden major. She reached the final of the French Open just last month, and after losing to world No. 1 Iga Swiatek — knocked out in Wimbledon's third round by Yulia Putintseva — Paolini's winning today's match would be some way to respond.
The seventh seed faces the 31st seed in the form of Barbora Krejcikova, the Czechia star whose only previous major title came at the 2021 French Open. Krejcikova arguably had the biggest headline win on her way to the final, beating fourth seed and 2022 Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina in straight sets (3-6, 6-3, 6-4) in a huge semifinal upset.
Paolini's semifinal win wasn't quite as straightforward, beating unseeded Croatian star Donna Vekic in the longest women's last-four clash in Wimbledon history. The pair traded set wins (6-2, 4-6) before the third and final set, eventually won 7-6 by Paolini, lasted two hours and 51 minutes.
Following those two epic semifinal clashes, the stage is set for another must-see Wimbledon Women's Singles Final, and The Sporting News has all he TV and streaming details you'll need to catch all the action as Krejcikova and Paolini face off.

Wimbledon 2024 prize money
Already the most well-known, prestigious and lucrative event in tennis, there's a huge 11.86 percent increase in prize money from Wimbledon 2023 ahead of this year's event. That total pot now stands at a whopping £50 million (U.S. $63.4 million), which like many of the biggest tournaments on both the WTA and ATP, is split equally for male and female competitors.
The winner of the women's singles final is set to pocket £2.7 million ($3.4 million) of that sum, just under double the amount awarded to the losing finalist. The doubles teams are also compensated with £650,000 ($824,000) to split between the winning pair.
That 11.86 percent jump in the overall prize pot also means competitors lower down the pecking order receive bigger sums for their progress, with ATP and WTA players both in line to earn £60,000 alone even if they failed to make it past the first round.
