Noskova reaches her first major final Czech wins 6-4, 6-4 with clinical display Linda Noskova had arrived at Wimbledon as one of the most dangerous young talents yet to make a grand slam breakthrough but the Czech completed that journey on Thursday, producing a clinical display to defeat Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 6-4 and reach the first major final of her career. “I don’t know how I feel,” said Noskova. “It was a great match. I stayed calm the whole time, which was the main goal. But I always realise any success or a good tournament after it’s done. Right now, I am focusing on the final.”
