Noskova overcomes second-set collapse to win Wimbledon women’s title

It was only minutes ago that Muchova had break points of her own, but now she is serving to stay in the match.

Now it’s Noskova’s turn to hit off the frame, 15-0. The hawk eye says close call but Muchova has overhit the ball far too often in this final, and she does so again, 15-15.

That time Noskova came to the net but Muchova was able to find the perfect passing shot, that has given the crowd a new lease of life!

Another backhand long and it’s level again at 30-30.

A “whoooooo” from the crowd accompanies Muchova as she moves 40-30 ahead, but she hits the ball into the net on the next rally. Deuce.

Going for the open forehand, Muchova hits the ball into the net again and Noskova has match point. 

It’s saved! Noskova finds the net. Deuce. Another forehand into the net from Muchova, and another match point.

Muchova finds a good serve that Noskova returns long. Deuce.

Muchova takes the advantage with a good wide serve, but then misses a forehand. Deuce.

After one of the best rallies of the match, with both players at the net Muchova has to watch her volley drop agonisingly long. Advantage and match point Noskova.

Saved! Noskova’s ball hits the net cord and bounces up favourably for Muchova who can play a drop shot winner. Deuce (I’ve lost count).

Now it’s Noskova’s turn to hit the ball into the net. Advantage Muchova, and she goes on to hold!
