MATCH of the YEAR! Muchova DEFEATS Gauff saving MATCH POINT to make all CZECH FINAL | Wimbledon 2026

An all-Czech Wimbledon women’s final is set! At Tennis Weekly HQ, we react to one of the matches of The Championships as Karolina Muchova edges Coco Gauff in a nerve-shredding deciding-set tiebreak, debate whether Gauff's match-point drop shot will haunt her, and ask if we've just witnessed the WTA match of the season. We also discuss Linda Noskova's composed victory over Marta Kostyuk as the 21-year-old reaches her first Grand Slam final, guaranteeing yet another Czech women's champion at Wimbledon.
Elsewhere, Chris takes us behind the scenes at the All England Club with a chat from the Official Racket Service of Wimbledon at Aorangi with Babolat’s Lucien Noguess who has been stringing rackets at Wimbledon for 45 years (!), before we look ahead to a blockbuster day of men's semi-finals featuring Arthur Fery, Alexander Zverev, Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic. But why are Fery and Zverev playing first despite having a day's less rest than Sinner and Djokovic? Naturally, we have a few thoughts...
