Wimbledon 2026 LIVE: Muchova saves match points against Noskova to force deciding set

Karolina Muchova saved five Championship points to deny Linda Noskova the Wimbledon title and force a deciding set in a thrilling all-Czech final on Centre Court.

Noskova, 21, led 6-2 5-2 and was closing in on her first grand slam title when she got her first three Championship points against the Muchova serve. She then had one more in the next two games, but lost both before Muchova broke to send a thrilling all-Czech final into a decider.

Noskova is competing in a grand slam final for the first time after she beat Marta Kostyuk to make the showpiece, while Muchova is contesting her second after she finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek at Roland-Garros in 2023, having seen off Coco Gauff and saved match point in a dramatic three-set semi-final.

Before that, Britain’s Henry Patten won a second Wimbledon title alongside partner Harri Heliovaara in men’s doubles, with the top seeds beating sixth seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic in straight sets, while there was further success for Great Britain as Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid reclaimed their wheelchair doubles crown, to win their seventh Wimbledon doubles title as a pair.

Relief for Noskova at last. After five games in a row for Muchova, she holds to lead the third.

18:01 , Jamie Braidwood

Noskova faces break point at the start of the third set but saves with a disguised forehand winner down the line. But Muchova keeps asking questions and Noskova nets to bring up a second. Noskova saves with a belting forehand but Muchova advances into the net. Muchova looked to have Noskova on the run but Noskova holds on by firing powerfully crosscourt.

Deuce. Every game these two are playing feels epic now.

Karolina Muchova 2-6 7-5 0-0 Linda Noskova

17:54 , Jamie Braidwood

Linda Noskova heads off court. The blood must be pounding in her ears! Four Championship points, and a double fault on one of them.

Now she must start again.

SECOND SET! Karolina Muchova 2-6 7-5 Linda Noskova

17:52 , Jamie Braidwood

This is so much more like Karolina Muchova. She is flying into her forehands, playing on the front foot. A forehand winner crosscourt brings up set point.

Muchova wheels backwards and plants another forehand winner past Muchova! We’re going to a third!

BREAK! *Karolina Muchova 2-6 6-5 Linda Noskova

17:48 , Jamie Braidwood

Unbelievable. Three consecutive errors from Noskova and she is broken for the second game in a row, having shown such poise to stand on the brink of the title! Remarkable.

Now Muchova will serve for a third set!

Karolina Muchova 2-6 5-5 Linda Noskova*

17:45 , Jamie Braidwood

Muchova holds her nerve in the crosscourt exchange and Noskova blinks, firing out! Centre Court is raucous now and Noskova is suddenly having to reset after being so close to the finish line. A big test.

BREAK! *Karolina Muchova 2-6 4-5 Linda Noskova

17:41 , Jamie Braidwood

Noskova is still one game away... and she ramps up the pressure on Muchova with a forehand return winner down the line! Muchova steadies with a wide serve to get back to 30-30...

DOUBLE FAULT FROM NOSKOVA ON MATCH POINT!

Deuce again!

Karolina Muchova 2-6 3-5 Linda Noskova*

17:29 , Jamie Braidwood

Another break point saved by Noskova. Muchova went aggressive on the return and drew the error. Noskova found a strong first serve and followed it up with a forehand. Now she attacks on the forehand to bring up a fourth Championship point, this time on serve!

Karolina Muchova 2-6 3-5 Linda Noskova*

17:28 , Jamie Braidwood

Some start from Noskova. Serve, forehand winner. Simple. Muchova then misses on the forehand, but Noskova replies with a forehand into the net, but she is still just two points away.

A superb backhand down the line from Noskova but Muchova reaches it and finds the defensive crosscourt shot. Noskova looks to finish it but goes wide on the forehand.

Now it’s 30-30, and Muchova steps in behind the forehand! Winner! Now it’s break point! This really could turn the match around. But Noskova powers the big serve and puts away the drive volley!

Another deuce!

Karolina Muchova 2-6 3-5 Linda Noskova*

17:24 , Jamie Braidwood

Muchova saves three Championship points to hold! Noskova fires out on the backhand and now she must serve for the title.

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-5 Linda Noskova

17:22 , Jamie Braidwood

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-5 Linda Noskova

17:22 , Jamie Braidwood

A third Championship point! Muchova came into the net but Noskova blasted the return at her and she couldn’t control the volley, it drops long!

Muchova also can’t find the first serve.

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-5 Linda Noskova

17:20 , Jamie Braidwood

But Noskova puts the second-serve return long as Muchova saves a second Championship point. Then Muchova finds the precise serve out wide! Noskova can only just get a racket to it. Muchova then makes another forehand error....

Back to deuce.

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-5 Linda Noskova

17:18 , Jamie Braidwood

Another forehand error from Muchova and it brings up a second Championship point! She’s clinging on...

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-5 Linda Noskova

17:17 , Jamie Braidwood

Noskova was in the point but nets on the backhand down the line - tension!

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-5 Linda Noskova

17:16 , Jamie Braidwood

Muchova puts a forehand into the net! It will be Championship point for Noskova after 68 minutes!

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-5 Linda Noskova

17:16 , Jamie Braidwood

The crowd wants more! Muchova faces a tough point on 15-15 and with Noskova pushing for the Championship right here, but she produces the angled pass. Noskova is relentless, though, and goes straight back to draw the error behind a punishing series of blows. Relief for Muchova as Noskova then nets, but the depth from Noskova on the backhand brings up another error and deuce...

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-5 Linda Noskova

17:11 , Jamie Braidwood

Another devastating love-hold from Noskova. She sends Muchova running after the ball, in total control of the points, only to power her forehand past her, and seals it with a thumping ace.

She moves one game away from the title.

BREAK! Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-4 Linda Noskova*

17:08 , Jamie Braidwood

Noskovo pins a return at Muchova’s feet and draws the error. Then, on 15-30, Muchova looks to finish the point early but puts the forehand well long. Noskova finds another sharp return, and Muchova nets!

Noskova gets the break and moves two games away from the title!

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-3 Linda Noskova

17:05 , Jamie Braidwood

Muchova looks to put some pressure on with the low backhand pass but Noskova responds brilliantly at the net and then wires the backhand winner down the line.

Stunning point from Noskova! Such variety, beating Muchova at her own game! Drop shot, lob, angled backhand slice down the line for the winner!

Karolina Muchova 2-6 2-2 Linda Noskova*

17:02 , Jamie Braidwood

Muchova shrugs off that last game and missed chances by holding to love as she moves inside the baseline and puts away the forehand winner.

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 1-2 Linda Noskova

16:58 , Flo Clifford

Muchova has a look-in on second serve but the bounce is tricky and her return is high and wide.

She’s standing so far behind the baseline to return serve and although she makes the next return, Noskova moves up the court and Muchova’s reply, aiming down the line, skews well wide.

Karolina Muchova 2-6 1-1 Linda Noskova*

16:56 , Flo Clifford

Now Noskova is in trouble on serve; Muchova has been struggling on the forehand side a little but plants a lovely cross-court winner for 15-30, then Noskova nets to give the 10th seed two break points.

She steps into the court and powers away the forehand cross-court to save the first, then an unreturnable serve brings her to deuce.

Muchova gets the ball skidding low in the next rally and Noskova nets with a tight backhand, so she’ll have another chance to break... but pinned back behind the baseline she punts a forehand long! Deuce again.

Karolina Muchova 2-6 1-1 Linda Noskova*

16:51 , Flo Clifford

Muchova looks a little deflated. She clips the ball off her racquet frame to fall 0-30 down, and you get the sense an early break here could be terminal.

The crowd applauds as Noskova hits long, and Muchova responds with a punchy second serve, Noskova netting in the rally.

Muchova’s first serve is a bit awry at the moment but she grinds out another rally, and Noskova overhits twice in a row as Muchova survives an early scare.

*Karolina Muchova 2-6 0-1 Linda Noskova

16:47 , Jamie Braidwood

The serving masterclass from Noskova continues she holds to love and Muchova may feel she is playing uphill in this second set. The 29-year-old needs to dig in now.

FIRST SET! Karolina Muchova 2-6 0-0 Linda Noskova*

16:43 , Jamie Braidwood

Muchova served at 81% in the first set but was broken twice. Noskova was relentless on the return, and unstoppable on serve - winning 12 of 13 first serve points.

FIRST SET! Karolina Muchova 2-6 Linda Noskova*

16:41 , Jamie Braidwood

Noskova is relentless and the backhand catches Muchova off balance on the baseline. Set point number five... Muchova comes into the net but Noskova replies with the lob, catching the baseline!

Stunning start from Noskova and she moves a set away from the title!

*Karolina Muchova 2-5 Linda Noskova

16:39 , Jamie Braidwood

A destructive backhand winner down the line against the return from Noskova moves her two points from the set, and a forehand error from Muchova brings set point.

Noskova had a chance on the second serve at 15-40, but shot long and Muchova a big serve to save the third. Another flat backhand winner from Noskova brings the fourth but Muchova saves with an ace!

*Karolina Muchova 2-5 Linda Noskova

16:33 , Jamie Braidwood

Another double fault from Noskova but she steadies with an impressive backhand crosscourt that pins Muchova into the corner. Muchova nets and Noskova belts another ace to move one game away from the set.

Karolina Muchova 2-4 Linda Noskova*

16:30 , Jamie Braidwood

That’s more like it from Muchova. A stunning forehand drop shot, on the run, angled crosscourt. Can that boost her confidence as she looks to work her way into this final?

*Karolina Muchova 1-4 Linda Noskova

16:27 , Jamie Braidwood

Noskova looks to be cruising as she flashes a couple of winners to get to 30-0 but a double-fault brings Muchova back into the game and a forehand into the net brings Muchova to deuce.

Noskova, though, steadies with the wide serve as Muchova nets. And that’s a stunning point from Noskova, clean, flat hitting moves Muchova around the court, followed by an angled volley.

Some start, in her first grand slam final!

BREAK! Karolina Muchova 1-3 Linda Noskova*

16:21 , Jamie Braidwood

Two forehand errors in a row from Muchova bring up break point for Noskova. Muchova advanced into the court but skipped the forehand well long of the baseline.

Muchova finds an ace out wide, but on the second Noskova makes no mistake! She steps inside the court and powers the backhand winner down the line.

*Karolina Muchova 1-2 Linda Noskova

16:18 , Jamie Braidwood

A solid hold for Muchova too, already demonstrating her variety with a couple of slice backhands. Noskova gets lucky with a net cord but Muchova is straight into it, Noskova’s reply hitting the tape. On game point the ninth seed is first to blink from the baseline, netting on the forehand side.

It’s followed by beautiful serving from Noskova. She’s going to win a lot of free points in this final if she keeps that up. She skips through the game to love - including a second serve ace!

*Karolina Muchova 0-1 Linda Noskova

16:11 , Flo Clifford

Some early nerves for Noskova perhaps as her first serve is out and she then hits long, but Muchova’s next return is overhit and the 21-year-old plays a sweet drop shot to move in front.

Now Noskova moves to the net to finish off a point and Muchova sprays wide. A good hold for the ninth seed to settle the nerves in her first slam final.

Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara reclaim Wimbledon men’s doubles crown

15:05 , Flo Clifford

World No 1s Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara won the Wimbledon men’s doubles title on Saturday, reclaiming their 2024 crown with a straight-sets win over sixth seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic.

The top-seeded pair were immaculate on serve and raised their game further in two clinical tiebreaks, winning 7-6(4) 7-6(3) in a match which featured no break points.

It was redemption for Britain’s Patten and his Finnish partner after they lost the Queen’s final to the same opposition in straight sets just last month, while it marked an immediate return to the top after they lost a one-sided Roland-Garros final.

This marks a third grand slam title for the pairing, who have only been together for two years, after Wimbledon 2024 and the Australian Open in 2025.

Novak Djokovic praises Arthur Fery's wildcard run

14:45 , Flo Clifford

“It was a great wildcard story. Obviously I think my ex-coach Goran [Ivanisevic ]was the last wildcard that got very far, actually won the trophy. So it doesn't happen very often that you have a wildcard that goes so far - particularly obviously home player from England.

“It's great for the tournament. It was great for the home crowd. Today I watched a little bit of the match. Sascha was just too strong. But it was a hell of an effort from him to win, I think, what is it, three five-setters or something during his tournament? That's impressive.

“For the future, it's hard to tell. Things have to come together. But he definitely has shown that he possesses a quality.”

Patten and Heliovaara a set away

14:33 , Flo Clifford

Over on Centre Court, Britain’s Henry Patten and Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara are a set away from a third grand slam title.

It's going to be interesting to see how, important to see how I deal with that change and everything that that brings in terms of expectations from myself, from the public, from everyone.

“So yeah, already looking forward to that. It's going to be a challenge to deal with all of that, but I'm conscious of it already and that's the first step.”

When is Wimbledon men’s final? Jannik Sinner v Alexander Zverev start time and how to watch

14:15 , Flo Clifford

Jannik Sinner bids to defend his Wimbledon title against second seed Alexander Zverev as the newly crowned French Open champion attempts to win back-to-back grand slam titles.

World No 1 Sinner, 24, reached his second consecutive Wimbledon final by beating Novak Djokovic in straight-sets and is one win away from a fifth grand slam title in total.

Zverev, who ended the run of British wildcard Arthur Fery in the semi-finals, is through to his first Wimbledon final and is enjoying his best run of form of his career.

The 29-year-old German ended his long wait to win a grand slam title last month at the French Open and appears to have been released by finally winning a major title.

Sinner and Zverev previously contested the 2025 Australian Open final, with the Italian winning in straight sets, which is one of nine consecutive victories in their head-to-head.

British doubles star Henry Patten blasts ATP Tour cuts proposal ahead of Wimbledon final

13:15 , Flo Clifford

British tennis star Henry Patten belives that only a victory in the Wimbledon men’s doubles final on Saturday will guarantee him and partner Harri Heliovaara a coveted spot on the ATP Tour’s Instagram page, amid an escalating civil war within the sport.

The prestigious four-man format at the All England Club has been overshadowed by a controversial proposal, presented at an ATP Player Council meeting last week, which suggests halving doubles draws and reducing prize money from 2028 to favour singles players.

This move has ignited widespread outrage within the doubles community, with British left-hander Patten emerging as one of its most vocal critics.

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid reclaim Wimbledon wheelchair doubles crown

13:06 , Jamie Braidwood

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid reclaimed their Wimbledon wheelchair doubles crown on Saturday, defeating Tokito Oda and Gustavo Fernandez in three sets to win their seventh doubles title as a pair at the Championships.

Hewett, 28, and Reid, 34, came from a set down on Court No 1 to avenge last year’s defeat to Martin de la Puente and Ruben Spaargaren. Hewett and Reid returned to Wimbledon as the number one seeds with Japan’s Oda and Argentina’s Fernandez knocking out De la Puente and Fernandez int the semi-final.

The 2-6 6-1 6-2 victory in one hour and 47 minutes for the British pair means they have now won 25 grand slam doubles titles together.

Hewett will have the chance to win his second Wimbledon singles title and first since 2024 when he plays the dominant world No 1 Oda on Sunday. It will be the third time in four years that Hewett and Oda, 20, have played the singles final.

First up on Centre Court today is the men’s doubles final, with Britain’s Henry Patten in action alongside partner Harri Heliovaara.

The top seeds face sixth seeds Marcelo Arevalo - who won the mixed doubles title on Thursday alongside Jelena Ostapenko - and Mate Pavic.

Heliovaara and Patten won Wimbledon in 2024 and are bidding to reclaim their crown and win a third grand slam title together, having also lifted the Australian Open trophy in 2025.

They were runners-up in a one-sided Roland-Garros final last month, so will be hoping for better things at Patten’s home slam.

What happened on day 12?

12:55 , Flo Clifford

Earlier, Arthur Fery’s hopes slipped away as the British wildcard was overpowered by Zverev in the semi-finals. Zverev was too strong as the big-serving world No 3 closed out a 7-6 (0), 6-2, 6-4 victory in two hours and 13 minutes to reach his first Wimbledon final.

Fery’s extraordinary Wimbledon run saw the world No 114 become just the second wildcard in tournament history, following the 2001 champion Goran Ivanisevic, to reach the semi-finals, as well as just the fifth British man in the open era.

What happened on day 12?

12:45 , Flo Clifford

Defending Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner ruthlessly denied Novak Djokovic in his latest attempt to win a record 25th grand slam title with a dominant straight-sets win to return to the final, where he will face second seed Alexander Zverev on Sunday.

Djokovic, 39, returned to Centre Court following the longest match of his Wimbledon career, a five-hour 15-minute epic against Felix Auger-Aliassime on Wednesday, but was flat and comprehensively outplayed by a clinical Sinner, the world No 1.

Djokovic had beaten Sinner in their last meeting, in the Australian Open semi-finals this season, but the Italian earned revenge and repeated his demolition of the seven-time Wimbledon champion from last year’s semi-finals, winning 6-4 6-4 6-4 in two hours and 20 minutes.

“Was a good old blowout,” Djokovic said. “Nothing much I could do. I was physically all right. He was much better player on the court and was the dominant force. You just have to hand it to him and say, Congrats, well done.”

Muchova is the 2023 French Open runner-up but is competing in the Wimbledon showpiece for the first time after beating Coco Gauff in a thrilling match tie-break in their semi-final, while 21-year-old Noskova is through to a grand slam final for the first time.

The pair will contest the first all-Czech final at Wimbledon, with one to be crowned the third Czech winner in the last four editions of the tournament, after Marketa Vondrousova in 2023 and Krejcikova in 2024.
