Noskova on her life change after winning Wimbledon: "I don't feel very comfortable"
Linda Noskova addressed the press on Media Day at the US Open 2026, in a truly interesting appearance where the Czech, the new Wimbledon champion, expressed her desire to "forget" that impressive success and return to the routine of competing without thinking about anything else. Winning a Grand Slam changes life, and Noskova, with her discreet and introverted character, is having to deal with situations that she does not completely enjoy.
"For me, it has always been very important to focus on each match as if nothing had happened before. Neither success nor failure. What happened, happened, and this is a completely new tournament. I simply have to start over."
The Wimbledon champion admits that her life has changed slightly since that triumph, especially due to obligations and media exposure. "It's something I'm getting used to. It's not something I have always felt very comfortable with, so I keep learning new things along the way," she noted.
Noskova wants to "forget" Wimbledon
"I want to remain the same, not change too many things around me. I know that all this attention and media scrutiny is not forever. All this is due to the achievement I had. So I simply have to achieve another one to move forward."
"I've mainly learned that it's possible for me to do it, to go all the way and lift a Grand Slam trophy," she confessed before noting that she needs to turn the page and focus on other sporting goals, in pursuit of proving to herself that what happened in London was not an isolated event, but that she can remain in the elite.
"I've had enough of Wimbledon, in a good way. It's something so big that it's very hard to process, but we have a new Grand Slam here. I can't get stuck in my head about Wimbledon. I will just try to repeat what I did," warned Linda Noskova, who will debut against Volynets at the US Open 2026.
