Emily Salley and Harry Poole at Wimbledon

  1. Muchova 2-6 7-5 3-6 Noskova

    Tracy Austin
    Two-time Grand Slam champion on BBC One

    They're true champions as tennis players but they're also true champions as people.

    It must be so difficult for Muchova to come up with "my ex-friend" - it's a great sense of humour. It's one of the most difficult times in her life.

    For Noskova, it's the most joyful but yet a little bitter-sweet because she was so close to her mum and her mum is not able to be here.

    What a final, two incredible athletes and two friends. They made history.

  2. Muchova 2-6 7-5 3-6 Noskova

    Linda Noskova has us all crying.

    Martina Navratilova, the nine-time Wimbledon singles champion born in what was formerly known as Czechoslovakia, is in tears at the front of the Royal Box.

  3. Muchova 2-6 7-5 3-6 Noskova

    An emotional speech from Linda Noskova as she pays thanks to her mum, who passed away on the eve of Wimbledon in 2024.

    She would be so, so proud. Her daughter is a Wimbledon champion.

    Now it's Linda Noskova's turn.

    At 21 years old, she is the youngest women's Wimbledon champion since her fellow Czech Petra Kvitova in 2011.

    "Congratulations to my ex-friend" says Karolina Muchova.

    At least she can still crack a joke through the tears.

    Karolina Muchova gave it her best shot after a poor start. She gritted her teeth, fought back and treated the fans on Centre Court to a third set, but she looks bitterly, bitterly disappointed.

    She's in tears as she steps up for her runners-up speech.

  7. 'Takes so many people to get to this level'

    It takes so many people. You can't just be one player getting to this level. It takes so many people to get to this position. So nice to see so many people enjoying this moment that is deserved.

    There are a lot of tears in that box.

  8. 'Two athletes doing everything they possibly could'

    That is one of the all-time greatest efforts you will ever see on this court.

    Sometimes you feel lucky when you are sitting here and this is one of those times. It was two athletes doing everything they possibly could do to win this title.

  9. Muchova 2-6 7-5 3-6 Noskova

    Linda Noskova is making her way up to her players' box.

    Her family are in bits. Everyone is crying.

    Dad gets the first hug before she does the rounds with the rest of her team.

  10. 'I could cry myself'

    Pat Cash
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    There is a lot of emotion [coming out], from the stress of the second set. She has the towel over her head and is having a good cry. I don't blame her, I could cry myself from the stress.

    She is such a powerful player, she somehow shook that [second set off].

    I'm so impressed, at 6-2 5-2, with the way she was playing. It's more impressive to come back after missing five championship points, to be able to regroup and take the third set 6-3.

    As always in sports, it's so tough to see someone not reach their dream. I hope one day Karolina Muchova wins a major.

  12. Muchova 2-6 7-5 3-6 Noskova

    She missed FIVE championship points.

    But it doesn't matter.

    Linda Noskova crumbles to the floor in celebration.

    She's just won Wimbledon.

    Muchova is serving to stay in the set, you should be making her play every ball if you're Noskova.

    Yikes. That return from Linda Noskova, on the second serve, was absolutely wild and a serve-volley combo brings up the love hold for Karolina Muchova.

  19. *Muchova 2-6 7-5 2-5 Noskova

    Karolina Muchova looked to be on the backfoot in that rally but she's not fooled by Linda Noskova's drop shot and she gets there in time to slice back a winner.

    Her compatriot sprays wide to take us to 30-0.

    We are in the same situation as we were in the second set at 5-2, and Noskova went on to lose five games in a row and the set then.
