LONDON – Former champion Angelique Kerber reached the Wimbledon semi-finals for the fourth time on Tuesday with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic.
The German world number 28, who won the title in 2018, will face either top seed Ashleigh Barty or Ajla Tomljanovic for a place in Saturday's final.
"It's a magical place for me," said Kerber, who is a three-time major winner, after securing the 80th victory of her career on grass.
"I was excited to play the grass court season after a one year break. I am so happy having my heart on the court and enjoying my time."
