If you are an on-court artist in tennis, Wimbledon is your greatest canvas.
Result
At 4-4, Muchova erased two break-point opportunities. At 5-5, she went 0-30 down, but wriggled out by executing an advancing forehand, an inside-out winner and another unreturnable from the backhand wing. Once there, Muchova went 6-3 up by combining a dipping pass, low volley, service-winner down the ‘T’, Boris Becker-style diving drop-volley and an ace. In boys’ singles, India’s Arnav Vijay Paparkar lost to United States’ Jordan Lee 2-6, 5-7 in the quarterfinals. But the 18-year-old, for whom this is the first year at Slams and also the last year in juniors, was overall satisfied.
The Czech, who seemed slightly bothered by hip issue, regained her focus and unleashed a superb forehand winner. A contest-ending two-fisted backhand soon followed.
