Match point saved against Cîrstea, 2026 third round
Born in Vsetín on 17 November 2004, Nosková grew up in the nearby village of Bystřička and won the French Open girls' singles title in 2021. At the 2024 Australian Open she beat the world No. 1 Iga Świątek on the way to the quarter-finals, and later that year won her first WTA title in Monterrey. She is coached by Tomáš Krupa and Lukáš Dlouhý. In 2026 she made her top-10 debut in June, became the Czech No. 1 and added doubles titles in Berlin with Ekaterina Alexandrova and Cincinnati with Marie Bouzková. Her 2026 grass season brought the Berlin title over Jessica Pegula, a first-round defeat in Bad Homburg and the Wimbledon title over Karolína Muchová, the first all-Czech women's final there.

Berlin 2026
A storm pushed the Berlin final back by five and a half hours. Nosková beat Jessica Pegula 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 in just under two hours, saving two break points at 4-2 in the third. "I definitely was not expecting this," she said. Rain delayed the doubles final too, and she won that the next day with Ekaterina Alexandrova.

Against Sorana Cîrstea she lost the first set 6-2, came back to force a third and saved a match point before winning the tie-break 11-9. "I simply refused to lose the match," she said. "I kept telling myself that it's never over until the last point." It sent her to the fourth round for the second year running.

After Muchová saved five match points and took the second set, Nosková left the court for a break and passed the trophies on her way. She told herself the match was starting over, and chose the bigger one. On the sixth match point, she said later, she did not even realise she had one.

In her speech she turned to her friend and opponent: "Karo you really made me work for it, I will not forgive you this one!" Muchová replied in kind, said she was joking and called Nosková a very kind person. "I want the trophy," Muchová added. "I hope I get the chance to be in the final again."

Between seasons in November 2025 she spent a week volunteering at a school in Zanzibar. She describes herself as a nature lover and already has a plan for life after tennis. Eight months later she was Wimbledon champion, the third Czech woman to win the title in four years.
