Czech ninth seed Linda Noskova reached her first Wimbledon quarterfinal on Monday evening, beating American Madison Keys 6-4, 7-6 (2). At 21, she becomes the youngest Czech woman to reach the last eight at the All England Club since Petra Kvitova, who went on to win the title in 2011.<\/p>\n
It is Noskova\u2019s second Grand Slam quarterfinal and her first since 2024 (Australian Open), reward for the power game that has made the world No. 12 a danger to anyone left in the draw. She saw off Keys \u2013 a former Australian Open champion (2025) who had knocked out sixth seed Amanda Anisimova in the previous round \u2013 closing the match with a one-sided second-set tiebreak.<\/p>\n
Her meeting with Elise Mertens in quater-finals (No.25) sits in a wide-open lower half. For the first time since 2007, all eight women\u2019s quarterfinalists are seeded \u2013 but none of the four in Noskova\u2019s section has ever won a major.<\/p>\n
Neither she, Mertens, No. 12 seed Marta Kostyuk nor No. 13 seed Jasmine Paolini has lifted a Grand Slam trophy, leaving the door open for a maiden major champion to emerge from that side of the draw. Paolini is the only one to have played a final, at Roland-Garros and Wimbledon in 2024.<\/p>\n
Noskova\u2019s route to the quarterfinals was the sterner test of the two women\u2019s fortnights. Noskova came through German Ella Seidel 6-4, 6-3, Colombian Camila Osorio 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 and, in a tight three-setter, Romanian 17th seed Sorana Cirstea 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (9).<\/p>\n
Keys, ranked No. 22, had beaten Anisimova 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, Englishwoman Katie Swan and American Kayla Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wimbledon \u2022Round of 16 \u2022 Completed See draw Czech ninth seed Linda Noskova reached her first Wimbledon quarterfinal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784517,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-784516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784516\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
