Here are my top 10 Wimbledon occurrences, in ascending order:

10. Gone too soon: Three former Wimbledon champions played in the tournament, and all three wee potential second-time champions. Sadly, all three had challenges that have set them back. In 2022 champion Elena Rybakina's case, the challenge was chronic illness, which has damaged her momentum on the tour. Rybakina, seeded 2nd, didn't make it past the third round, in which she lost in straight sets to veteran player Elise Mertens. There's no shame in losing to Mertens, but it was unfortunate to see Rybakina make such an early exit.

9. In for the long haul: Anna Pushkareva won the junior girls title, defeating Sun Xinran 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 in the final. The two-hour and 23-minute match was the longest junior girls final in Wimbledon history. 

8. Who are you, and what have you done with Iga Swiatek?: Last year around this time, tennis fans and media were talking about what a slump Iga Swiatek was in. Well, she showed everybody by arriving in London and winning her first Wimbledon title. But, as I mentioned earlier, all three former champions came into this tournament with challenges, and Swiatek's challenge was that she was, once again, in what some might call a slump. There is no denying that the former world number 1 and six-time major champion simply hasn't been herself for a while, but who was this in London?

In the first round, Swiatek faced Taylor Townsend, a formidable opponent. They went three sets, and Swiatek won, but after the match, she was in tears, presumably from relief, but one has to wonder what's going on, what with the coaching changes and the obvious lack of confidence. The Polish star won her second round match against Karolina Pliskova, but went out in straight sets in the third round against rising star Alex Eala. Eala also defeated Swiatek last year in Miami, and is now 2-1 against her. 

The best players on the tour are going to learn how to beat a champion, yes. And young, talented players, perhaps, are going to go all out to try to do so; there's nothing shameful about losing to Alex Eala. But that was just one piece in a puzzle that has become more mysterious as the season has progressed.

7. Just when I thought nothing else could surprise me: Six-time Wimbledon champion and former world number 1 Diede De Groot, who has steadily been making a comeback since she had hip surgery, made it to the final, but lost to top seed Yui Kamiji. There's nothing shocking about that--Kamiji has been the queen of wheelchair tennis since De Groot had to leave the tour for a while. The surprise was the scoreline--6-0, 6-0. De Groot, who double-faulted repeatedly, had seemed fine throughout the tournament, but she did experience a recent retirement from another tournament, so one has to wonder whether there was some sort of relapse.

Top seeds Kamiji and Zhu Zhenzhen won the doubles title, defeating 2nd seeds Li Xiaohui and Wang Ziying 6-4, 7-5 in the final. This is Kamiji's ninth Wimbledon doubles title. She also won the singles title, and--in doing so--achieved the career Golden Slam; she is the first Japanese women to do so.

6. Coming into her own: Marta Kostyuk has played impressive tennis for a long time, but—like many other good players—her head kept getting in her way. She worked on that problem, and also made her game more aggressive, then went on a 16-match clay court win tear, which included her winning Madris, and culminated with her reaching the Roland-Garros semifinals. Kostyuk showed up in London with the same fire, and again, advanced to the semifinals. She was stopped by eventual champion Linda Noskova, but it was quite a run. It will be interesting to see what the Ukrainian star does during hard court season.

5.Try again: Alona Ostapenko, who has become a considerable force in doubles play, was part of the runner-up mixed doubles team at Wimbledon in 2019. This year, she and Marcelo Arevalo, seeded 2nd, won the title, defeating Storm Hunter and Marc Polmans in the final. 

4.  Czech-palooza!: Czech players dominated this Wimbledon tournament. Four players--Barbora Krejcikova, Linda Noskova, Karolina Muchova, and Marie Bouzkova--all advanced to the round of 16. Krejcikova, the third of the former Wimbledon champions (her challenge has been both injury and illness), made it past Roland-Garros champion Mirra Andreeva, and played a very spirited and entertaining match against Muchova, which she lost. Both Muchova and Noskova advanced to the quarterfinals, and then advanced all the way to the final. 

In the meantime, a pair of Czech teens, Jana Kovackova and Katerina Zajickova, seeded 5th, won the junior girls doubles title in a very close final. Kovackova and Zajickova also won the Roland-Garros title. And as if that weren't enough, Lucie Safarova (playing with Magda Rybarikova) won the Invitational Doubles event.

3. Coco and Karo--together again, as you always wanted to see them!:  Karolina Muchova had played Coco Gauff seven times, and had won only one of those matches. But the way the Czech star was playing in London, it was reasonable to think that we were in for some first-rate tennis when they met in the semifinals. It turns out that we had no idea what we were in for. Muchova dominated the first set, then Gauff dominated the second set, and there was a very well-played third set, which went to a tiebreak. 

No one who saw that tiebreak will forget it any time soon. Muchova, dealing with some sort of abdominal strain on her right side, nevertheless put the Muchova Show into high gear, whipping a winning volley from her shoelaces, and hitting a dive volley winner, which left her body-down on the court while her racket flew out of her hands. Gauff's moves were less dramatic, but just as deadly--Muchova had to save a match point. And after almost two and a half hours, Muchova won the match, 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (10).

2. Never count her out: There was a time when--if you wanted to win a doubles match (or a tournament), all you had to do was get Kiki Mladenovic to be your partner. (One year, in Charleston, Lucie Safarova arrived without her doubles partner. Mladenovic arrived the same way, so--at the last minute--they decided to be partners. They had no time to practice--at all. I asked Safarova what she thought her chances would be in doubles, and she just gave me a side-eye. She and Mladenovic went on to win the tournament.)

Mladenovic (playing with regular partners Timea Babos and Caroline Garcia) has won the Australian Open twice, and Roland-Garros four times. She was a finalist three times at the U.S. Open, and--twelve years ago--she and Babos were finalists at Wimbledon. And now, 33-year-old Mladenovic has finally added a Wimbledon title to her impressive doubles resume. She and partner Guo Hanyu, seeded 10th, upset top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend in the quarterfinals. They then went on to upset 2nd seeds Gaby Dabrowski and Luisa Stefanie 6-3, 7-5 in the final.

1. Czechs are always in fashion: For the first time in Wimbledon history, two Czech players contested the women's final--the artistic, yet hard-hitting Karolina Muchova, and the also hard-hitting, potential star-in-the-making Linda Noskova. Brilliant Czechs retire from the tour, but they are always succeeded by young, potentially brilliant countrywomen. It's a Czech thing. Noskova has stood out for a while, and shortly before she arrived in London, she demonstrated her grass skills by winning Berlin. 

In the final, Noskova took the first set 6-3, then--at 5-3, she served for the match. And then Muchova made a comeback so impressive, it was even more dramatic than her semifinal third set tiebreak antics. She saved five match points, and the match went to a third set, but--by then--Noskova had regained her mojo, and she emerged the 2026 Wimbledon champion, defeating her opponent 6-3, 5-7, 6-3.

After the match, Muchova acknowledged that the semifinal match had taken something out of her physically, and also--that she had experienced an issue with her nerves because she wanted so badly to win. This acknowledgment brings to mind her loss in the 2023 Roland-Garros final, in which she was up a break in the third set before losing to Iga Swiatek. 

And of course, there was the matter of Muchova's opponent, who--though she wobbled in the second set--was able to get her head together and find a way to win. 21-year-old Noskova's mother died of cancer two years ago, right before Noskova played at the 2024 Wimbledon tournament, and--in her trophy acceptance speech--Noskova thanked her. "I definitely would not be standing here without her, so thank you."

Tomorrow, Noskova will be number 7 in the world, and that world will now see her as a Wimbledon champion. 

Meet the new (Wimbledon) boss--she's Czech, of course

Several years ago, after coming within a half inch of going out in a big match, two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova turned the whole thing around and won it. After the match, she addressed her fans on social media by saying something to the effect of "Thanks for all the support--and sorry for the blood pressure!" Karolina Muchova could have issued a similar apology to her fans after the second set of the championship match, which was maybe even more dramatic than her third set tiebreak against Coco Gauff in the semifinals.

After Linda Noskova took total control of the first set, preventing Muchova from reaching into her considerable bag of tricks, she then proceeded to take control of the second set, too. Then, serving at 6-2, 5-3, something happened. Well, two things happened--Noskova got tight, and Muchova found her inner Houdini. She saved four championship points, and on her seventh break point, she converted for 4-5. 

At 4-5, Noskova held her fifth championship point, but could not convert it. Several deuces later, Muchova held for 5-all. 

What made this already tense situation even more dramatic was that Noskova could not only not find her serve, she double-faulted twice. Yet almost every time her opponent had a break point, Noskova would hit an ace. This happened over and over, in almost cartoon-like fashion. The role reversal continued, as Muchova broke again and held to take the set 7-5. She had performed a tennis miracle, but could she keep it up?

She could not. When the third set began, Noskova entered the court as her first-set self, and went up 3-0. Muchova was able to get back in, breaking Noskova and providing at least some indication that she could turn the third set into another thrill ride. But it wasn't to be; Noskova won the two and a half-hour match 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. The key takeaway wasn't that she became shaky in the second set (Muchova is good at making opponents shaky, as is serving for your first major title), but that she was able to put it past her and complete her mission. She was impressive throughout most of the match, and she demonstrated what happens when a champion's game syncs with a champion's mindset.

Both players struggled with their serves. They both had excellent second serve stats throughout the tournamnent, but neither could excel with the second serve in the final. Both finished with positive winners-to-unforced error ratios--Muchova's was 35/27; Noskova's was 44/36. 

It should be noted that this was the first time in 36 years that both finalists had won grass warm-up tournaments. Muchova won Bad Homburg, and Noskova won Berlin. Both finalists saved match points on their way to the final--Muchova against Coco Gauff in the semifinals, and Noskova against Sorana Cirstea in the third round. Perhaps an even more interesting fact is that this was the first time that two Czech players had ever competed in the Wimbledon final. 

Noskova has now won three WTA titles. She will enter the top 10 on Monday, as number 7 in the world.

Forget the Emmys--Gauff and Muchova gave us all the TV drama we could handle

KAROLINA MUCHOVA WON THIS POINT

We knew that it was going to be good. We knew that it would include every shot known (we get that from Muchova alone). But maybe we didn't know just how crazy dramatic the Wimbledon semifinal--and, to be specific, the third set tiebreak--played by Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova, would be. Muchova, already known for her artistry on the court (but also known for her hard hitting and excellent serve), put on one of her best shows, which included hitting a winner from a complete dive. But she also experienced transient abdominal pain on her right side, and--toward the end--she slipped and fell while reaching for a volley.

As for Gauff, she repeatedly flummoxed her opponent, just when Muchova gained momentum. In other words, she was Coco Gauff. The scoreline pretty much defines the match: 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (10). Muchova dominated, then Gauff dominated, and then they went after each other as though, well--as though a spot in the Wimbledon championship match depended on it. 

Muchova, who saved a match point, won the two hour and thirty-five minute match, and--while I don't like to say it--the Czech star's abdominal pain doesn't register the way it might if another player experienced it. Muchova's career stats, in my opinion (and I'm not alone), should have some majors listed. But years of chronic injury (the Czech Curse) have kept her from achieving so many things. Let's hope that, this time, this is just a routine stitch that will heal with rest and treatment.

Prior to today, Muchova was 1-6 against Gauff. This is her second major final. In 2023, she reached the final of Roland-Garros, in which she was defeated by Iga Swiatek.

The second semifinal featured another Czech player, Linda Noskova, and Ukrainian star Marta Kostyuk. And, while Kostyuk's performance throughout the tournament has been outstanding, there were too many times today when "the old Kustyuk" made an appearance on the court. She was up against an opponent who was both powerful and deadly accurate, and she struggled to figure out how to handle her. That struggle appeared to take away some of Kostyuk's confidence, and--though she had some brilliant moments--she was unable to solve the problem that was Noskova, who kept her under constant pressure.

Muchova and Noskova have played each other only once, at last year's U.S. Open, and Muchova won that match.

Paths to the final:

KAROLINA MUCHVOVA (10) 
round 1--d. Anastasia Zakharova
round 2--d. Zhang Shuai
round 3--d. Mananchaya Sawangkaew (Q)
round of 16--d. Barbora Krejcikova
quarterfinals--d. Naomi Osaka (14)
semifinals--d. Coco Gauff (7) 

LINDA NOSKOVA (9)
round 1--d. Ella Seidel
round 2--d. Camila Osorio 
round 3--d. Sorana Cirstea (17)
round of 16--d. Madison Keys (26)
quarterfinals--d. Elise Mertens (25)
semifinals--d. Marta Kostyuk (12)

Gauff and Muchova weren't the only ones locked in to a tight third set tiebreak. Six-time Wimbledon champion Diede De Groot was pushed hard by her doubles partner, Aniek Van Koot, in the quarterfinals of the women's wheelchair singles competition. De Groot, seeded 2nd, defeated Van Koot 6-4, 7-6 (12). She will face 3rd seed Li Xiaohui.

In doubles, Guo Hanyu and Kiki Mladenovic, seeded 10th, will play Jiang Xinyu in the semifinals. In the other semifinal match, 13th seeds Shuko Aoyama and Liang En-Shuo will compete against 2nd seeds Gaby Dabrowski and Luisa Stafani. Guo and Mladenovic upset top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend in the quarterfinals. (Back in the day, I used to say that Anybody and Mladenovic was a winning team. It's interesting that here she is, taking out Siniakova in a major.

Arevalo/Ostapenko take the Mixed Doubles Title after a 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 win over Polmans/Hunter First Wimbledon title for both.

Finally, we have winners! Alona Ostapenko and Marcelo Arevalo, seeded 2nd, won the mixed doubles title today when they defeated Storm Hunter and Marc Polmans 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 in the final. This is Ostapenko's first mixed doubles title. She and Lyudmyla Kichenok won the U.S. Open women's doubles title in 2024. 

Fact Czech: They're still dominating the Wimbledon draw

Having exited Wimbledon in the first round in each of her previous four visits, Karolina Muchova is into the semifinals following a 7-6, 6-4 victory over Naomi Osaka. She will meet Coco Gauff for a place in Saturday's final.

There are only four women left standing at Wimbledon, and two of them are Czech players. This shouldn't come as a surprise; Czechs excel on the grass. Martina Navratilova (who won the tournament twice before she changed her citizenship), Jana Novotna, Petra Kvitova, Marketa Vondruosova, and Barbora Krejcikova all won in London (Kvitova won twice). And now, there's a chance for another Czech player to lift the Venus Rosewater dish.

Yesterday, Karolina Muchova--who should have had a brilliant career by now, but the Czech Curse (chronic injury) has repeatedly taken her off of the tour and quashed her momentum) defeated Naomi Osaka in straight sets (7-6, 6-4). Muchova is known for her breathtaking artistry on the court--so much so that she sometimes doesn't get credit for her hard hitting and excellent serve. The Wimbledon semifinal is the sixth one that the Czech star has reached this season; the only other player with that stat is Elina Svitolina.

In yesterday's other quarterfinal match, Coco Gauff defeated countrywoman Jessica Pegula 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. "Considering I hadn't won a match on grass in two years before this tournament...I'm definitely just really happy with how I played today," the 7th seed said after the match. Pegula said that she established patterns in the match to which she probably should have adhered. She also acknowledged that her serve was off during the quarterfinal.

Today, Marta Kostyuk saw her 2026 season continue to rise in significance. After experiencing an excellent clay season, the Ukrainian player hit the grass in London with her typical fierceness and athleticism. Her straight sets defeat of 2024 finalist Jasmine Paolini places her in her second-ever major semifinal; her other semifinal was in Paris this season. 

In today's other quarterfinal match, Czech player Linda Noskova defeated Elise Mertens 6-3, 7-5. Veteran player Mertens, who has had an exceptional career in doubles, had never before advanced beyond the round of 16 at Wimbledon. The match was a close one, and it took Noskova almost two hours to win it. Her serve held up well throughout the match; however, she was able to convert only two of eleven break opportunities. 

Here is the semifinal draw:

Karolina Muchova (10) v. Coco Gauff (7)
Marta Kostyuk (12) v. Linda Noskova (9)

Muchova is 1-6 against Gauff; they have never played each other on grass. Kostyuk and Noskova have played each other only once, on clay. Kostyuk won that match.  

Eight women standing at Wimbledon

Generally speaking, the round of 16 is my favorite part of a major. There are enough really good players left to make it exciting, but not too many. The first half of the Wimbledon round of 16, played yesterday, was high on drama in several different ways.

Jessica Pegula, playing on Centre Court for the first time in her career (how odd is that?) faced off against up-and-coming countrywoman Iva Jovic, and the first set looked like it belonged on a court in Paris, there were so many breaks of serve. Jovic won that set, but Pegula—calm and steady, as always—was able to take control of the match and win it, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. 

And while it may not have been hailed as the “marquee match,” those in the know knew that the contest between countrywomen Karolina Muchova and 2024 champion Barbora Krejcikova was the match to watch. The pair didn’t disappoint. For two hours and 45 minutes, they delivered the kind of jaw-dropping shot-making for which they are known. Unfortunately, the Czech Curse—never far away—also made an appearance. 

For a long time, Muchova was one of the two most chronically injured players on the tour (the other was fellow Czech and 2024 champion Marketa Vondrousova). But then the Curse took hold of Krejcikova, bringing illness as well as injury. Krejcikova has slowly made her way back, and has looked really good in London. But during the third set of her round of 16 match, she had breathing problems (bringing back memories of another Czech Wimbledon champion) and her movement was hampered. She fought to the end, but she wasn’t able to overcome her opponent. Muchova won that truly beautiful match, 7-5, 5-7, 6-3.

Next to fall was world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who has been struggling somewhat this season. Sabalenka has won four majors—she has two Australian Open titles and two U.S. Open tiles. Her opponent was Naomi Osaka, who also holds two Australian Open titles and two U.S. Open titles. Osaka looked more at home on the grass than she ever has; she served really well, and she broke Sabalenka twice. Her 6-2, 7-6 (2) victory moves her into the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time in her career.

In yesterday’s final match, Coco Gauff defeated Belinda Bencic 4 -6, 6-3, 6-4, and she did it with just two minutes remaining before the cut-off time for play that day. This is also Gauff’s first time to appear in the quarterfinals.

In today’s round of 16 play, Marta Kostyuk reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time in her career when she defeated qualifier Ashlyn Krueger in straight sets. Kostyuk had an unusually good clay court season, and reached the quarterfinals of Roland-Garros. Also reaching the quarterfinals for the first time was veteran player Elise Mertens, who defeated Marie Bouzkova, also in straight sets.

2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini, who has had a troublesome season and hasn’t played many matches, has found her game in London. Today, she defeated rising star Alex Eala 6-4, 4-6, 6-3. 

And in today’s final match, Linda Noskova defeated Madison Keys 6-4, 7-6 (2), and advanced to her first major quarterfinal. Noskova has been someone (a Czech someone, at that) to watch for a while, so this milestone is hardly a surprise. Last year, she made it to the round of 16, but lost to eventual finalist Amanda Anisimova. This year, Anisimova was defeated by Keys in the third round.

Here is the quarterfinal draw:

Naomi Osaka (14) v. Karolina Muchova (10)

Jessica Pegula (4) vs. Coco Gauff (7)

Marta Kostyuk (12) v. Jasmine Paolini (13) 
Linda Noskova (9) v. Elise Mertens (25)

USA and Czech Republic dominate Wimbledon round of 16

ALEX EALA 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

— The Tennis Letter (@thetennisletter.bsky.social) July 4, 2026 at 9:58 AM

The Wimbledon round of 16 is upon us, and one quarter of the draw is made up of Czech players--2024 champion Barbora Krejcikova, Karolina Muchova, Linda Noskova, and Marie Bouzkova. For now, the Czech Curse has been lifted (except, sadly, in the case of 2021 champion Marketa Vondrousova), and both Krejcikova and Muchova are healthy. Those two will also compete against each other in the round of 16, and that match has the potential to be a thing of beauty.

Krejcikova has been plagued with both injury and illness for a while, but she has finally gained some momemtum, and looks right at home on Wimbledon grass again. Surprisingly, she and Muchova have played each other only three times, and all of those matches were on clay. Krejcikova leads, 2-1, and it should be noted that they haven't played each other in eight years.

Linda Noskova's third round match against Sorana Cirstea turned into an edge-of-the-seat affair in the third set. Cirstea held a match point, but failed to convert it, then Noskova held two match points and didn't convert them. The set went to a tiebreak, which Noskova won 11-9. As for Bouzkova, she defeated Liudmila Samsonova 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4 in a match that lasted almost three and a half hours. 

The third round was big on drama. Noskova's just squeaking by Cirstea, and Bouzkova's hours-long extravaganza would have been enough--but there was more. 25th seed Elise Mertens upset 2nd seed and 2022 champion Elena Rybakina in straight sets. And then there was defending champion Iga Swiatek. Last year, just when a lot of people said that the five-time major champion was going downhill, she went to London and won Wimbledon. 

This year was different, though, because Swiatek's descent felt more profound. The serve and the forehand, her bread-and-butter shots, just weren't there the way they used to be, and Swiatek often looked visibly spooked on the court. In her first round match against Taylor Townsend, the atmosphere was very tense. Swiatek won only one game in the first set, and she committed nine double-faults in the match. And after the world number 3 won the match, she began to cry. These were most likely tears of relief mixed with something else, but I'm not sure what. 

Today, in the third round, Swiatek was up against rising star Alex Eala. And--as good as Eala is--Swiatek's serve and forehand "should" have helped her get past her opponent. It didn't happen that way. Eala won an 11-point tiebreak in the very long and tense first set, and--instead of wilting in the second set--she won it 6-2. All credit to Eala for holding her nerve and playing consistently well, but something is definitely wrong in the Swiatek camp.

There was better news for 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini, who has struggled quite a bit in the last several months. Today, the Italian player defeated Maria Sakkari in straight sets. And Marta Kostyuk, whose clay season was spectacular, has also made it to the second week of Wimbledon, as has Madison Keys, who defeated countrywoman and 2025 runner-up Amanda Anisimoa. 

25% is impressive, but players from the USA dominate even more in the round of 16. In addition to Keys, third round winners included Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, Iva Jovic, and qualifier Ashlyn Krueger. Gauff's match was of special interest because her countrywoman (and 2017 junior Wimbledon champion), Claire Liu, took a set off of her in a tiebreak. 

Here is the round of 16 draw:

Aryna Sabalenka (1) v. Naomi Osaka (14)
Karolina Muchova (10) v. Barbora Krejcikova
Jessica Pegula (4) v. Iva Jovic (16)
Belinda Bencic (11) v. Coco Gauff (7)
Ashlyn Krueger (Q) v. Marta Kostyuk (12)
Jasmine Paolini (13) v. Alexandra Eala (29)
Madison Keys (26) v. Linda Noskova (9)
Marie Bouzkova (21) v. Elise Mertens (25)
