Wimbledon 2023 results: Marketa Vondrousova beats fourth seed Jessica Pegula to reach semi-finals

Fourth seed Jessica Pegula once again fell short at the quarter-final stage of a Grand Slam as she lost to unseeded Marketa Vondrousova at Wimbledon.

Czech player Vondrousova survived a comeback from the American to win 6-4 2-6 6-4 on Court One.

Vondrousova, 24, had never made it further than the second round at SW19 while Pegula has lost all six of her Grand Slam quarter-finals.

Vondrousova will face top seed Iga Swiatek or Ukrainian Elina Svitolina.

Vondrousova, ranked 42nd in the world, enjoyed a rapid rise through the ranks as a teenager when she reached the 2019 French Open final but this was her first quarter-final since that run.
