Marie Bouzkova has rediscovered her best level at the WTA Nottingham 2026, lifting the title after defeating Emma Navarro in the final with a score of 7-6 4-6 6-2, confirming her best historical ranking in the WTA classification and positioning herself as a real threat for Wimbledon 2026.

The Czech tennis player had already won another WTA 250 in 2026 in Bogota, and in the grass court season, she is displaying her best tennis by defeating players like Karolina Pliskova. In the first set of the final against Navarro, she saved two set points to eventually win the tiebreak. In the second set, she almost managed to come back from a set that she had almost lost. Finally, the final had to be decided in the third set, and there was no contest.

Navarro overcomes her mental health issues

Bouzkova will rise to number 22 in the WTA rankings on Monday, improving her seeding position for Wimbledon, awaiting the outcomes of upcoming tournaments like Eastbourne next week. At 27 years old, Karolina is experiencing the best moment of her career, and this result is just another proof that she is on the right path. 

Navarro, on the other hand, also has reasons to smile. After going through a difficult period due to mental health issues, the American tennis player is displaying her best tennis in recent weeks, winning the WTA 500 in Strasbourg on clay and reaching another final on grass. Despite being far from the top 10 that she once belonged to, her tennis is starting to see light at the end of the tunnel, which is great news for the sport of tennis.
