Coco Gauff, chasing her maiden Wimbledon final, gets the match started with the first serve. Dressed in her signature pleated white outfit and sweatband, the American looks calm from the very first point.

She wastes no time showing why she's become such a complete player. A lightning-quick sprint to chase down a drop shot is followed by a thunderous backhand winner down the line, bringing the crowd to life. That's vintage Gauff, speed, power and precision all rolled into one.

A couple of confident points later, the 22-year-old wraps up a comfortable opening hold.

Gauff saves the first, but not the second. A forehand into the net hands Muchova the early break, and the Czech moves 2-1 ahead with momentum firmly on her side.

Gauff earned two break points and looked poised to level things up, but Muchova stayed ice-cool under pressure. A crisp volley erased the first, before Gauff sprayed her return on the second. The Czech then held her nerve through deuce, sealing the game when Gauff's forehand drifted just wide.

The opening set is beginning to look one-sided, with Muchova dictating the rallies and keeping Gauff on the back foot.

A much brighter start from Coco Gauff in the second set.

After being completely outplayed in the opening set, the American has transformed this contest. Her movement is sharper, her groundstrokes are finding the lines, and her confidence is growing with every point.

Karolina Muchova hasn't dropped her level, but Gauff has raised hers dramatically. The momentum has swung firmly in the American's favour as she storms to a 4-1 lead in the second set.
