Noskova recovers to win maiden Wimbledon title after six Championship points
skysports -

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 on Saturday - 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.
