Wimbledon 2026: Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova contest all-Czech women’s final
Noskova, the youngest player to break into the top 100 in 2022, has long been seen as a future star who could challenge for Grand Slam titles.
It has taken some time for the 21-year-old to find consistency at the Slams, but he has shown in these two weeks that he has a game that relies on raw power.
When you stand next to Linda, you see that she is actually taller than you would expect when you see her on TV, because she is 170 cm.
He has a tremendous serve and a really heavy ball that comes from his natural power thanks to his long leverage.
He can also combine this with a nice drop kick. It has great touch and feel.
But it’s not just about power; His drop shot leaves opponents not knowing what will happen next.
Madison Keys, whom Noskova beat in the fourth round, explained that when Linda has time on the ball, you don’t know if she’s going to hit it dead on — meaning it’s going to go behind the baseline — or if she’s going to make a field goal.
You cannot defend both.
Noskova will want to play on her terms against Muchova and will feel in control of the situation.
His serve will be the key to allow him to do this.
