Linda Noskova continues to prove that Wimbledon is one of the tournaments where she performs at her best. The Czech tennis player has qualified for the fourth round for the second consecutive year after defeating Sorana Cirstea in a very demanding match, resolved after a great comeback and a lot of mental strength. Her next challenge will be Madison Keys, whom she has never faced on the tour.

Noskova acknowledged that she expected a very tough match, especially because both players know each other very well after crossing paths several times in recent months. "I knew it was going to be a battle; our matches are never easy. It's one of those matches where you feel a great relief when you manage to pull through," she explained in a press conference after her 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 triumph.

The Czech player emphasized that the key was not giving up after losing the first set. "I simply refused to lose the match. I kept telling myself that it's never over until the last point," she stated. Additionally, she admitted that she managed to change her mindset in time: "With Sorana, you always have to play at 100%. I lost a bit of focus at the beginning, but I'm very happy that I was able to start over. If I had continued the same way, the match would have ended differently."

The challenge intensifies in the next round

In the fourth round, she will face Madison Keys, a rival whom she respects a lot despite never having played against. Noskova believes it will be a very different match from the one against Cirstea, although she expects another highly demanding game. "We have similar playing styles; she hits very hard, has a great serve, and it will be a tough match. We've never played, so I'm not exactly sure what to expect," she commented.

At 21 years old, Noskova continues to progress on the tour without obsessing over her world ranking. "I've never had ranking goals; I try not to think about points or my position," stated a player who once again finds herself among Wimbledon's best 16 players, showcasing that the grass of London brings out her best.
