Muchova is also playing amazingly on the grass, she\u2019s playing a totally different game, a lot of touch, slice, and she\u2019s using the whole court.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say the winner of that match will win [Wimbledon].\u201d<\/p>\n Muchova, who has won just one of her seven meetings with Gauff, was asked what makes the American such a difficult opponent for her ahead of the pair\u2019s last four showdown.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, she is just, like, great athlete overall. One of the best in the world, in our sport. It was tough to play against her,\u201d said the 29-year-old.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m happy we have 0-0 on the grass. That\u2019s a bit better balance for me there. Yeah, I mean, she gives you a lot of balls back. She has a lot of weapons. She is big fighter, which as well gives a lot of, yeah, things to her game to make it awkward for me.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Alex Eala told to copy Novak Djokovic as expert spots key change to unlock Grand Slam dream<\/a> The post Coco Gauff, Karolina Muchova?
