Wimbledon is set to crown a new champion this Saturday as Czech Republic players Karolína Muchová and Linda Nosková meet on Centre Court in the women’s singles final. Both 2024 Wimbledon contenders are chasing their first Grand Slam title, marking the first all-C Czech final in the tournament’s history. Although they have only faced each other once in singles, Muchová and Nosková are well acquainted from competing together for the Czech Republic in doubles at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where they finished fourth after losing the bronze medal match to Spain’s Cristina Bucsa and Sara Sorribes Tormo.
In their sole prior head-to-head, Muchová holds a 1-0 lead over Nosková. The match occurred in the third round of the 2025 U.S. Open, where Muchová mounted a comeback to win in three sets, 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-2. She then advanced to the quarterfinals before being stopped by Naomi Osaka in straight sets.
From a betting perspective, Muchová is the slight favorite over Nosková, with FanDuel Sportsbook listing her at -112 and Nosková at +102. Nosková, competing in her first Grand Slam final, would become the youngest Wimbledon champion since 2011 if she could pull off the upset.
The Muchová–Nosková match is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. ET at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Viewers can catch the action on ESPN.
