Linda Noskova has delivered an emotional, roller-coaster triumph in the first ever all-Czech Wimbledon final, finally repelling a remarkable comeback from her more experienced friend Karolina Muchova to battle to an exhilarating three-set triumph on Centre Court.
The 21-year-old Noskova became the youngest women's champion since her hero, another Czech Petra Kvitova, who was watching from the Royal Box, with her see-saw 6-2 5-7 6-3 triumph on Saturday.
Remarkably, she became the third winner from her country in four years following Barbora Krejcikova and Marketa Vondrousova, with Martina Navratilova, the greatest Czech-born player of all who won her nine Wimbledon crowns under the flag of the US, applauding the latest outlandish Czechia tale at SW19.
