Rusedski believes Karolina Muchova has \u201cno weaknesses\u201d ahead of her Wimbledon quarter-final clash with Coco Gauff.<\/p>\n<p>The Czech was arguably the underdog coming into her quarter-final tie after Naomi Osaka\u2019s stunning straight-set win over world No 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/aryna-sabalenka\">Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> in the previous round.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Japanese could not replicate that display, and the 29-year-old took full advantage to win 7-6 (4) 6-4 to reach her first Wimbledon semi-final.<\/p>\n<p>The former French Open finalist\u2019s all-court game proved too much for the four-time major winner, and now she will prepare for a last-four clash with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/coco-gauff\">Gauff<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The American leads their head-to-head 6-1 but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/karolina-muchova\">Muchova<\/a> did win their last meeting in three sets on the clay of Stuttgart earlier this year.

I know the coach very well, Sven Groeneveld, my best man, who coached me for four years, he\u2019s done a fabulous job with her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is feeling confident. We thought it was going to be the French Open where she had a deep run and let\u2019s not forget, she not the lead-in event coming into the championships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is on a roll right now. To beat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/naomi-osaka\">Osaka<\/a>, the way Osaka disposed of Sabalenka was impressive to do it today in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom my point of view, this is a difficult one to call. Osaka was my pick after the last few matches and Muchova is the most complete player on the WTA Tour, there\u2019s no weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the mindset is coming across. She must think to herself, \u2018This is a wonderful opportunity for me to be back in a slam\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Going by the WTA leaderboard, Muchova is 58th in the world for the percentage of first return points won, 74th for return games won, 12th for service games won, and 22nd for aces.<\/p>\n<p>But the fact that she is comfortable off both wings, is adept at the net and on the transition, is competent with her slice, and makes the game look easy adds credence to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/greg-rusedski\">Rusedski<\/a>\u2018s view.<\/p>\n<p>The former world No 8 has now reached all the semi-final stage at all four Grand Slams and now she will be dreaming of lifting her first major trophy in a few days time.<\/p>\n<p>Rusedski described <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> as the \u201choly grail\u201d of tennis but whether or not this quest will end in silverware remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT NEXT? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/live-wta-rankings-points-dropped-sabalenka-rybakina-swiatek-anisimova-bencic-drop-wimbledon\">Live WTA Rankings: How many points did Sabalenka, Rybakina, Swiatek, Anisimova, Bencic drop at Wimbledon?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greg Rusedski describes Wimbledon hopeful as WTA Tour\u2019s \u2018most complete player\u2019 Richie Mills 08 Jul 2026 3:54 PM Wimbledon Centre Court and Greg Rusedski (inset) Greg Rusedski believes Karolina Muchova has \u201cno weaknesses\u201d ahead of her Wimbledon quarter-final clash with Coco Gauff.
