Muchová reaches Wimbledon quarter-finals after Czech derby win

Karolína Muchová advanced to the Wimbledon quarter-finals after defeating fellow Czech and defending champion Barbora Krejčíková 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 in a match lasting two hours and 45 minutes. The 10th seed has now reached the last eight at the All England Club for the third time, having also done so in 2019 and 2021. Muchová extended her winning streak to eight matches after arriving in London fresh from her grass-court title in Bad Homburg. She will next face either world number one Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus or Japan’s Naomi Osaka for a place in the semi-finals.
