在温布尔登网球锦标赛女子单打半决赛中,捷克选手卡罗利娜·穆霍娃以 6-2、1-6、7-6(10) 的比分击败美国选手科科·高夫 [1][2]。这场耗时两小时三十五分钟的比赛最终以一场惊心动魄的抢七局告终 [2]。
在决胜盘的关键时刻,双方战至平分后进入抢七,穆霍娃挽救了一个赛点并最终锁定胜局 [2]。此前,美国选手科科·高夫曾在抢七中以 9-8 领先时错失关键得分机会 [2]。凭借此役胜利,穆霍娃成功闯入温网决赛,这也是她职业生涯中第二次进入大满贯决赛 [1]。
此次夺冠让穆霍娃成为近六年来第四位晋级温网女单决赛的捷克选手 [1]。与此同时,同胞林达·诺斯科娃在另一场半决赛中也战胜了乌克兰选手马尔塔·科斯秋克 [2]。因此,周六即将举行的决赛将是一场罕见的“全捷克德比”,由穆霍娃等待诺斯科娃与高夫之间的胜者 [1]。
