Karolina Muchova edged Coco Gauff 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 in a nerve-shredding deciding tie-break to reach her first Wimbledon final. Both players squandered match points in the breaker before Muchova sealed it, ending Gauff's best run at the tournament. She meets fellow Czech Linda Noskova, who beat Marta Kostyuk in straight sets, on Saturday, guaranteeing a third Czech champion in four years.
