Czech no

England Lawn Tennis Club: Linda Noskova of Czechia reached her first Grand Slam semifinal, securing her place in the last four stage of Wimbledon 2026 by beating Elise Mertens 6-3, 7-5 on No.1 Court at the All-England Lawn Tennis Club in London on Wednesday.

The Czech No.9 seed broke the Belgian once in each set and showed big-match maturity beyond her 21 years. Noskova had reached the fourth round at Wimbledon last year and is the youngest semifinalist at the All-England Club since Jelena Ostapenko in 2018.

Noskova will play Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk in the last four to guarantee a first-time Grand Slam finalist.
