‘What really helped me … the trophies were there’
A jubilant Linda Noskova said seeing the Wimbledon trophy sitting by Centre Court helped her reset at a vital time as she clinched her first grand slam title with a dramatic 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 victory over her fellow Czech Karolina Muchova at Wimbledon.
The 21-year-old led 6-2, 5-2 only to miss five match points as Muchova levelled but Noskova took a bathroom break and reset brilliantly to become the sixth Czech woman to lift the title in the Open era.
