First all-Czech Wimbledon final set as Muchova and Noskova advance

An all-Czech final will decide the Wimbledon women's singles champion, with Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova both through. It is the first final at the All England Club to feature two Czech players.

Semifinals in London

On 9 July 2026, the women's singles semifinals were held at the All England Club. The first match of the day saw Karolina Muchova, seeded 10th and ranked world No. 9, emerge from a tight contest. The second semifinal followed shortly afterward, with ninth seed Linda Noskova facing 12th seed Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine.

Noskova delivered a controlled performance, winning 6-4, 6-4 in 1 hour and 21 minutes. Kostyuk drew level at 4-4 in the second set, but Noskova pulled clear to secure her first Grand Slam final appearance.

Noskova's breakthrough

Noskova reached a Grand Slam final for the first time in her career. The 9th seed had previously won WTA titles in Berlin earlier in 2026 and in Monterrey in 2024. Her ranking stood at world No. 13 entering the tournament.
