Coco Gauff suffers heartbreaking defeat as she misses out on Wimbledon final

  • Karolina Muchova defeated Coco Gauff in a thrilling deciding tiebreak, saving match point to secure her place in her first Wimbledon final with a score of 6-1 2-6 7-6 (12-10).
  • The 10th seed, Muchova, will now face either Marta Kostyuk or fellow Czech Linda Noskova in her second Grand Slam final, following her appearance in the 2023 French Open final.
  • Coco Gauff, a two-time major champion, had a match point at 9-8 in the tiebreak but failed to convert, leading to her elimination and ensuring a first-time Grand Slam winner in the women's singles.
  • In the men's draw, British wildcard Arthur Fery continued his extraordinary Wimbledon run, advancing to the semi-finals by beating Flavio Cobolli in straight sets, 6-4 7-6 (4) 6-0.
  • Fery, who started the tournament ranked 114th in the world, is only the second wildcard in Wimbledon history to reach the men's semi-finals, a feat last achieved by Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.
