If the unseeded player emerges victorious, she will become the first woman in 60 years to reach the final at the All England Club.

As tennis fans eagerly await this thrilling encounter, they can’t help but feel the weight of history on their shoulders. The anticipation is palpable, as everyone wonders who will be the one to break the 60-year-old record. As Wimbledon unfolds, the echoes of that historic event are being felt.
