Overview
- Noskova beat fellow Czech Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 to claim her first Grand Slam in a 2 hour 27 minute match that swung from early control to a nerve-racked finish.
- The 21-year-old missed five match points in the second set before converting her sixth match point to close the final on Centre Court.
- Noskova earlier saved a match point in her third-round match against Sorana Cirstea, a moment that proved pivotal on her path to the title.
- She earned €4.22 million pre-tax and will rise from world No. 12 to No. 7 in the WTA rankings, bringing immediate financial and career gains.
- The win drew an emotional trophy ceremony presented by the Princess of Wales and featured Noskova’s public tribute to her late mother, and it continues a run of recent Czech success at Wimbledon.
