Coco Gauff advances to her first Wimbledon semifinal after defeating fourth seed Jessica Pegula in a three-set match. Gauff drops the first set 4-6, then changes the match momentum to win the next two sets 6-3 and 6-3. Multiple reports describe a difficult start for Gauff, including double faults and a high number of unforced errors in the opening set. As the match progresses, she raises her level—particularly from the baseline—while reducing errors and double faults. The result means Gauff reaches the last four at Wimbledon for the first time. Separate coverage also notes that Gauff has had a pattern of late-match comebacks during this year’s tournament, having come back from a set down in earlier rounds as well. The Athletic characterizes her approach as limiting Pegula’s effectiveness on grass, while other accounts focus on her ability to recover from a shaky beginning and close out key stretches. Overall, sources agree the win comes via a set-down comeback against the fellow American Pegula.
