Coco Gauff Vs Karolina Muchova Live Score, Wimbledon 2026: Muchova Draws First Blood With Early Break

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

The American looks far more settled after a difficult opener, cruising through her service game without dropping a point. Karolina Muchova's coach, Sven Groeneveld, is constantly urging his player on from the stands, but Gauff is finally beginning to dictate the tempo.

It's her most comfortable service game of the afternoon so far, and the momentum has shifted ever so slightly in the American's favour.

Karolina Muchova is just one set away from her maiden Wimbledon final!

Coco Gauff produced a couple of eye-catching winners to briefly apply pressure, but Muchova never lost her composure. A brilliant winner down the line, confirmed by video review to have caught the line, brought the Centre Court crowd to its feet.

Moments later, the Czech uncorked a booming ace to seal the opening set 6-2. It has been a clinical display from Muchova, who has outplayed Gauff in nearly every department so far.

Just when it looked like Coco Gauff had a chance to hit back, Karolina Muchova found another gear.

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.

Early twist on Centre Court! Karolina Muchova lands the first big blow of the semi-final.

The Czech immediately targets Gauff's forehand and the tactic pays off. A fierce backhand winner puts Gauff under pressure before a costly double fault gifts Muchova two break points.

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.

And we're underway on Centre Court!

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.
