Czech Karolina Muchova: Ninth seed Linda Noskova clinched her maiden Wimbledon women’s singles title after battling past fellow Czech Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 in an entertaining all-Czech final on Centre Court on Saturday.

Noskova produced a composed display in the championship match, recovering strongly after dropping the second set to seal victory in three sets and capture the biggest title of her career.

The 21-year-old relied on her powerful serve throughout the contest, firing 10 aces compared to Muchova’s six. She also enjoyed a slight edge in first-serve percentage (75% to 71%) and won 74% of points behind her first serve, while converting four of her 13 break-point opportunities.
