19.06.2026, 20:30Viktorija Golubic last reached this stage at a WTA 250 tournament in late fall 2025. In Jiujiang, China, Golubic also reached the semifinals, which she lost 1-6, 6-4, 5-7 to Austrian Lilli Tagger after holding a break lead in the deciding set.
Reaching the semifinals on grass in Nottingham is a greater achievement than her run eight months ago in China. So far, Golubic has defeated Sofia Kenin, a former Grand Slam champion, as well as two significantly higher-ranked opponents: Zeynep Sönmez of Turkey and, in the quarterfinals, fifth-seeded Ann Li (WTA 29). Golubic prevailed against Li 6–3, 2–6, 6–3. After 114 minutes, Golubic converted her very first match point.
In Saturday’s semifinal, Golubic will face the No. 3-seeded American Emma Navarro (WTA 25).
