Linda Noskova won her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, beating compatriot Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 after recovering from wasting five match points in the second set. The 21-year-old claimed her third WTA title and jumped five places to a career-high world number seven, placing her just behind Muchova in the rankings. The result reshuffles the top 10 and affects immediate ranking positions: Aryna Sabalenka remains world number one despite a last-16 exit to Naomi Osaka, Elena Rybakina fell in the third round to Elise Mertens, Jessica Pegula moved to third and Coco Gauff rose to fourth.
