2026 Wimbledon Women's Final: Muchova vs. Noskova

[Federberg]

Linda is going full Jannik Sinner. She had this thing won.

is this in reference to the French Open last year? That's a bit harsh don't you think? Carlito raised his level, Jannik didn't choke

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

this is a Greg Norman level choke

At least it is not like last years final with Iga winning 6-0 6-0

 

[Federberg]

At least it is not like last years final with Iga winning 60 60 MEH

Agreed! That was awful to watch. I thought we had seen the last of that level of unprofessionalism in women's tennis

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Linda has been putting towels over her head reminds me of Bepa many moons ago lol

Yeah, he had that won one. Jannik led 2 sets and served for the match. If Rafa was in that situation, I'd bet my life he closes that match out.

I hope so, quite frankly I sat and I was lost for words during that match...it was pathetic

Jana Novotna 1993 Wimbledon?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think we have to give Linda a pass, remember this was her first GS final she got to, nerves set in big time, and lets give some credit to Muchova she took her game to Linda and made her serve out the match, and Linda could not

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Linda has reset her game and breaks Muchova to stop the rot in her game

 

[Federberg]

This might be controversial but I'm going to say it anyway... When I watch these women play, it’s very clear to me they aren’t on the same level as the men. Sure, the men also get tight, but there’s a baseline level of performance they display. This ain’t it

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a great bhand pass down the line from Muchova
Linda holds and leads 3-0 3rd set

You cant compare mens tennis to womens tennis for starters, men will always be stronger physically in all area's, baseline play included

oh I'm not comparing the physicality. It's the mentality that's driving me crazy watching this. And I'm someone who's second biggest favourite player of all time is Monica Seles. I like stone cold killers and I'm having a hard time not puking watching some of this

Seles was a different beast to these current players I take your point
As I have often said, you can have all the shots in the world but if you mental game is not there, forget it
Todays game is around 80% mental

exactly!

Now Linda is playing like she was in the 1st set, all credit to her she lost the 2nd set and now has found her game in the final set and leads 4-1

 

[Federberg]

it would be nice to see both of them playing at a decent level at the same time

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It would be lol! how many times have we not seen both players, playing well at the same time

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Linda leads 5-2 ..........please dont look up at the SB Linda, try to think your in the 1st set

Noskova lost 2nd set, but she never disappeared. Muchova pushed her and won some crucial points. Other than that Noskova's level today is above Muchova which is also visible in this 3rd set.
