In London, Muchova won 7-5, 6-7(4), 7-6(5). The third-set tiebreaker went 7-5 in Muchova's favor. This is her first Wimbledon final.
Gauff, ranked No. 2 in the world, hit 11 aces but committed 7 double faults. Muchova had 5 aces and 3 double faults. The match lasted 2 hours and 47 minutes.
Muchova will face world No. 1 Iga Swiatek of Poland in the final. Swiatek defeated Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals.
