Linda Noskov\u00e1 has not yet won a Grand Slam title. But as she steps onto Centre Court for the Wimbledon<\/a> final, she’ll have both a packed house and the people who have known her longest cheering her on. That support system includes her coach, her family, and other members of her inner circle. Here\u2019s who we can expect to see in Linda Noskov\u00e1\u2019s player’s box:<\/p>\n

Her coaches, Tom\u00e1\u0161 Krupa and Luk\u00e1\u0161 Dlouh\u00fd\"2024Andy Cheung\/\/Getty Images<\/p>\n

Noskov\u00e1 speaks to Krupa at the 2024 Australian Open.<\/p>\n

Noskov\u00e1\u2019s primary coach is Tom\u00e1\u0161 Krupa<\/a>, a former Czech professional who specialized in doubles and won four titles on the Challenger circuit. As a coach, he is best known for his work with Tom\u00e1\u0161 Berdych from 2009 to 2014, a period that included Berdych\u2019s run<\/a> to the Wimbledon men\u2019s final, where Novak Djokovic ended up claiming his third title. He has also coached Czechia\u2019s Radek \u0160t\u011bp\u00e1nek, Ji\u0159\u00ed Vesel\u00fd, and Barbora Str\u00fdcov\u00e1.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, Luk\u00e1\u0161 Dlouh\u00fd joined her team in a supporting role<\/a>. Dlouh\u00fd is a retired Czech doubles specialist who reached a career-high ranking of world No. 5 in doubles in 2009 and won 10 doubles titles, including Grand Slam final appearances at the 2007 French Open and 2007 U.S. Open alongside Pavel V\u00edzner. He was also Str\u00fdcov\u00e1\u2019s final coach before her retirement.<\/p>\n

Her friend, Ag\u00e1ta \u010cern\u00e1<\/p>\n

Both a tennis coach and a content creator for the CANAL+ Sport affiliate in Czechia, Ag\u00e1ta \u010cern\u00e1 is also a former pro tennis player<\/a>. Her exact role on Noskov\u00e1\u2019s team is unclear, but in an interview with Czech news site iDNES<\/a> in November, it was said \u010cern\u00e1 \u201ctravels to many tournaments as her supporter and psychological support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u010cern\u00e1 \u201ctold me recently that she\u2019s my talisman, if I\u2019m doing so well with her,” Noskov\u00e1 told reporters<\/a> at the Wuhan Open in 2025. \u201cWe\u2019ve been friends for a long time, we played junior tournaments together. I don\u2019t have such a large team, so it\u2019s nice to have a new, nice face here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her father, Draho\u0161 Nosek<\/p>\n

Noskov\u00e1\u2019s father, Draho\u0161 Nosek, sometimes attends her matches, but hasn\u2019t been spotted in recent tournaments, though he is at the Wimbledon finals today. Her mother, Ivana Noskov\u00e1, tragically passed away<\/a> shortly before Noskov\u00e1 was to compete at Wimbledon in July 2024, following a long battle with cancer.<\/p>\n
