Overview
- Linda Noskova defeated compatriot Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 to win the Wimbledon women's singles title after converting her sixth match point in a tense finish on Saturday.
- Noskova recovered from losing a second‑set lead in which she missed five match points and had earlier saved a match point in the third round against Sorana Cîrstea, underlining her resilience during the two weeks.
- At the trophy presentation Noskova received the Venus Rosewater Dish from the Princess of Wales and dedicated the title to her mother Ivana, who died of cancer two years ago, producing emotional scenes in the Royal Box.
- The title brings Noskova €4.22 million (pre-tax) and will move her up the WTA rankings to No.7, capping a rapid rise after a strong grass season that included a Berlin title and an 11-1 formline going into Wimbledon.
- Her win continues a recent run of Czech success on Wimbledon's grass as the third Czech woman to triumph in four years and marks the youngest women's champion at the tournament since Petra Kvitová in 2011.
