Former champion beats Karolina Muchova 6-2, 6-3Barty sees off compatriot Ajla Tomljanovic 6-1, 6-3In the three years and 11 grand slam events since Angelique Kerber won Wimbledon, the German has lost in the first round five times and her ranking has fallen from No 2 to No 28. But class and grass-court prowess is an enduring quality and the 33-year-old is duly back at the business end of a grand slam once again.
Kerber’s 6-2, 6-3 win over the Czech, Karolina Muchova, put her through to the last four at
Wimbledon for the fourth time. Having shrugged off a poor run of form last month by winning the title in Bad Homburg, the former world No 1 will take on the current No 1, Ashleigh Barty, on Thursday in a bid to reach her third final at SW19.
