Linda Noskova sealed her maiden Grand Slam title as she became the third Czech women’s Wimbledon champion in four years with victory over compatriot Karolina Muchova yesterday – but only after overcoming a major wobble.
Noskova followed fellow Czech champions, Marketa Vondrousova in 2023 and Barbora Krejcikova in 2024 in lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish on Centre Court with a 6-2 5-7 6-3 success against Muchova – after regrouping from a second-set collapse.
At 21, Noskova became the youngest Wimbledon champion since her fellow Czech Petra Kvitova in 2011, sealing victory on her sixth Championship point.
“It feels incredible. All of these matches have been so tough physically and mentally, today especially. It’s never easy to get the last point,” Noskova said after collecting the trophy.
“Karo, you really made me work for it! I’m so glad I could play my first Grand Slam with you. We made history today.
