Overview
- Linda Nosková beat fellow Czech Karolína Muchová 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 in the Wimbledon final on Saturday after missing five match points in the second set and closing the match on her sixth opportunity in a 2-hour-27-minute contest.
- The result moves Nosková up to world No.7, the best ranking of her career, while Muchová will reach a career-high No.6 despite the loss.
- At 21, Nosková is the youngest women's singles champion at Wimbledon since Petra Kvitova in 2011 and arrived in form after a June grass title in Berlin and strong grass-court results over two seasons.
- In her trophy speech Nosková paid an emotional tribute to her mother, who died before the 2024 tournament, saying she could not have done it without her.
- Separately, Kristina Mladenovic and Guo Hanyu won the women's doubles title on Sunday, with Mladenovic framing the win as a comeback from serious 2025 injuries and becoming the first Frenchwoman to lift the Wimbledon doubles trophy since 1937.
