I still don’t know how I feel. You dream about these moments, but when they really happen you don’t know how to react. I’m already thinking about the final and when it’s over I will realize all this

“When I started all the tournaments were the same for me and I didn’t know how difficult it is to get here. But also how beautiful it is,” added the Czech player who will play in her first final of a grand slam.

“I still don’t know how I feel. I played very well and I was calm the whole game. I couldn’t believe it. You dream about these moments, but when they really happen you don’t know how to react and I assimilate it at the end,” said the player who is already focused on the final. “I feel like I’m already thinking about the final and when it’s over I’ll realize all this.”

Linda Noskova will play the final against Karolina Muchova. There will be a Czech champion. “Karolina is a great player and a great person. But I didn’t meet her until a few years ago and at the Olympic Games we spent more time together. We played doubles together and almost won a medal. When she reached the final of Roland Garros I saw it and encouraged it,” he explained.

Noskova underlined the high level of tennis in her country. “Good results are now common and with a marked style. We are creative and the grass allows us to use those resources and the offensive game. That is why they perform well at Wimbledon,” he explained.

The 21-year-old Czech girl wants to take advantage of the situation she is experiencing in the All England Club and that I didn’t expect. “Success appears out of nowhere and you can’t make plans,” he stressed.

“After Roland Garros I was exhausted and Paris was very bad for me. I had to start and enjoy and that is what took me to the final,” Noskova revealed, highlighting the game she plays. “It’s because I also feel relaxed off the court. Everyone has a high level and it is the details that mark the matches,” said the Czech.
