Grass Stains and Growing Pains: Wimbledon 2026 Recap

Send us Fan Mail

Welcome to the Wimbledon 2026 Week 2 breakdown!

Just like that, grass is in & grass is out. 

Naomi Osaka's Cinderella run ends in the semis against Karolina Muchova — turns out toppling world #1 Sabalenka takes a toll on the legs. Meanwhile Coco Gauff finds herself one drop shot away from her first Wimbledon final, yet somehow gives the most zen presser of the year anyway.

Then the real headline: **the first all-Czech Wimbledon women's final ever**, because apparently the Czech Republic just has a tennis cheat code nobody else got the manual for. Muchova saves FIVE championship points, yet still loses to 21-year-old Linda Nosková in an emotional three-setter that ends with a tribute to Nosková's late mom. 

Also on deck: Yui Kamiji completes a *career Golden Slam* in wheelchair tennis and gets paid 44 times less than Nosková for the exact same accomplishment (equal pay, but make it asterisks), Djokovic and Felix Auger-Aliassime play the longest quarterfinal in Wimbledon history and somehow no one threw a racket, and Alcaraz is still MIA with a wrist injury and we are all feral with longing.
