Starting 2025, the All England Club decided to switch the order of finals during the closing weekend of Wimbledon.

But this time around, the tournament got the final that global suppporters will long remember as Czechia’s Linda Noskova beat compatriot Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 after two hours and 27 minutes of action-packed tennis. On Saturday, Muchova will take on compatriot Linda Noskova, who overcame Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 6-4. It will be a first women’s singles final at SW19 between compatriots since Serena Williams met sister Venus in 2009. For the audience, it immediately brought back memories of 2022 when he rolled his ankle badly in the French Open semifinal against Rafael Nadal. It will be the first women’s singles final at Majors between compatriots since the 2017 US Open featuring Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens. Muchova has hit 39 aces to Noskova’s 33, and won 77% of her first-serve points and 59% on the seconds to her opponent’s 73% and 54%. The only points of difference may be in that Muchova has past experience of playing a Major final – lost to Iga Swiatek at Roland-Garros 2023 – and in the strength of opponents vanquished at SW19.
But Muchova staged a miraculous comeback by erasing five match-points, including one on her opponent’s racquet. But Noskova displayed a lot of grit in saving four break-points in the first and third games and breaking in the second. It turned the tide, and she held her next three service games for the loss of just two points.

On Saturday, the men’s doubles final would be played first so that the women’s summit clash can attract the “largest possible worldwide audience”.
