Man, Cocoās forehand really fell apart. Good job by Emma keeping her poise and continuing to find it over and over again.

In post-game interview, Emma talked about how important her two years at college were, developing as a player and a person. Great press for the University!

Emma interview after defeating Coco Gauff. Sheās so level-headed and self-confident. I could totally see her taking the Wimbledon crown, especially given her path to the final round.

For the stats-inclined, thereās a site that puts together Elo rankings of tennis players, which is probably a little more accurate than the WTA/ATP rankings:
https://tennisabstract.com/reports/wta_elo_ratings.html
They do have surface-specific ratings, which is nice for figuring out matchups.
Emmaās at #17 currently in the overall ratings. Her next opponent (Paolini) is at #12, but actually has a slightly worse grass court-specific rating than Emma, so Tennis Abstract forecasts the matchup as 57/43 in Emmaās favor:

Looking ahead, the semi-final opponent is either Sun, who made it from qualifiers, or Vekic, who is a strong grass-court player. Vekic is heavily favored against Sun.
The other half of the bracket is tough for Danielle, as Ostapenko (potential QF opponent) is way stronger on grass than her overall ranking would imply, and then Rybakina (SF opponent) is the strongest player left in the field based on ratings.
