Karolína Muchová reaches first Wimbledon semifinal

Karolína Muchová has reached her first Wimbledon semifinal after defeating Naomi Osaka 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 on Tuesday. The victory came just over a week after Muchová also beat Osaka in the final of the Bad Homburg tournament.

The win makes Muchová the eighth active player to have reached the women's singles semifinals at all four Grand Slam tournaments. She is also only the fourth Czech woman in the Open Era to achieve the feat.

Muchová joins former Czech greats Hana Mandlíková, Jana Novotná and Karolína Plíšková in reaching the semifinals of all four Grand Slams.
