If you are an on-court artist in tennis, Wimbledon is your greatest canvas.On Thursday, Karolina Muchova painted her best portrait yet by beating seventh seed Coco Gauff 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 [12-10] and entering her maiden singles final at the All England Club.A first appearance in the summit clash is coming rather late for the 29-year-old from Czechia. A French Open finalist in 2023, a two-time US Open (2023 and 2024) and a one-time Australian Open (2021) semifinalist, Wimbledon was an anomaly.In fact, she had exited in the first round in each of the last four editions. But that dismal record now stands emphatically corrected, as the tenth seed battled past a spirited Gauff, even saving a match-point in the nerve-wracking deciding set tie-break.
Linda Noskova proved too good for Marta Kostyuk.
