Linda Noskova won her first Wimbledon championship in some style as she roared back in a dramatic third set after missing out on five match points in the second.
The 21-year-old was making her Grand Slam final debut in SW19 against her fellow Czech – and 2023 French Open finalist – Karolina Muchova.
After romping to a commanding 6-2, 5-2 lead however, nerves appeared to tell, with Muchova hitting back to send the women through to a decider.
But with admirable nerve, Noskova saw out the final set at pace before bursting into tears on Centre Court.
