Petra Kvitova and Daniela Hantuchova have won their quarter-finals at the AEGON International to set up a semi-final meeting with each other on Friday.
Kvitova, the world No.8, was a 1-6, 6-2, 7-6(2) winner over Agnieszka Radwanska in a topsy-turvy two hour match on court one.
Hantuchova put out Venus Williams, also needing three sets, triumphing 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 after two hours 25 minutes on Centre Court.
"I enjoyed it," said the Slovakian after the match, "It's a great win and just nice to be able to continue from a good form from Paris and Birmingham, as well, I'm having a great run."
The match was played out in very windy conditions on Centre and Hantuchova commented on that as well: "It was unreal. It got really ugly for both of us. It was difficult to play. I felt like I started off well before the wind came.
"First set I was hitting the ball as good as I could, and then obviously it got very difficult. So it was really mentally important to try to stay in the points and not to fight against myself and just try to play every point as it came."
The semi-final between Kvitova & Hantuchova will be their second meeting having played in the Fed Cup earlier this year, where it was the Czech player who ran out victorious in straight sets.
Hantuchova commented on her semi-final opponent, "Of course it's not going to be an easy match. She made the semi-finals last year in Wimbledon. And obviously she likes grass. She's got a huge serve and big game.
"It will be a very difficult match, but I have nothing to lose. I already beat three great opponents and had a great time on grass so far. So I really will have no pressure tomorrow. Just going to try to improve few things here and there and have fun out there. Hopefully the wind will be better."
Venus Williams spoke about the conditions as well, "Today was really tough. It was hard to capitalize on the serve. It wasn't predictable out there, but I give her credit, she got a lot of balls back. She played some good tennis most of the time."
Looking ahead, the American who will be seeded No.23 at Wimbledon continued, "I feel really positive about my matches here. I thought I played pretty good. I thought more than anything I was able to get a lot of great competition. This has been ideal. Yeah, I would have liked to have gotten a win here, but there are a lot of positives I'm taking out of this."
