Aussie continues career-best Wimbledon run image

Olivia Gadecki is enjoying a deep run at Wimbledon.

The Australian has reached the semi-finals of the women's doubles tournament alongside American partner Desirae Krawczyk.

Impressively, the unseeded duo are yet to drop a set at the All-England Club.

Scalps have included No. 12 seeds Jiang Xinyu and Wu Fang-hsien and American pair Sofia Kenin and Caroline Dolehide.

Across Gadecki and Krawczyk's four victories, they have lost just 20 games.

They will look to continue this strong form when they take on Elise Mertens and Veronika Kudermetova for a spot in the final on Friday (AEST).

Gadecki is the reigning Australian Open mixed doubles champion, but has never made it to the second week of a women's doubles draw in a slam. 

That has changed at Wimbledon this year, crushing her previous best effort of a second-round berth in 2024.
