Noskova Beats Kostyuk to Set Up All‑Czech Wimbledon Final

The win on Thursday sends Noskova into her first Grand Slam final and guarantees Saturday’s match will produce a new major singles champion.

Overview

Linda Noskova defeated Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 6-4 on Thursday to reach her first Grand Slam singles final.
Noskova earned the decisive breaks by stepping up her returns at 5-4 in the first set and converting match point when Kostyuk erred.
She was especially strong on serve, winning a very high share of points on her first delivery that helped control rallies.
Kostyuk’s defeat ended a hot run that had produced 22 wins in 23 matches, and Karolina Muchova’s earlier win over Coco Gauff set the all-Czech final.
The final continues a recent run of Czech success at Wimbledon and will guarantee a first-time major champion while raising Noskova’s profile on grass.
