Notes from the Tour: The Czech-list delivers at Wimbledon...
Friday 10th July 2026
For the third time in four years, there will be a Czech champion in the Wimbledon Ladies’ Singles…
2023 – Marketa Vondrousova – won @ 150/1
2024 – Barbora Krejcikova – won @ 225/1
2026 – Final: Karolina Muchova v Linda Noskova…
The era of Czech domination shows no signs of slowing down...
This is something I wrote about at length in last season’s special Ones to Watch report: The Czech-list (read it here).
That report featured both Czech women who will contest Saturday’s Wimbledon final, Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova:
The long game – and the early bird…
In my members-only Ones to Watch service, I advised youngster Noskova for Wimbledon at 150/1 in 2024 (lost in 2nd round)…
And again at 66/1 last summer (4th round – last 16)…
Call me bloody-minded, but this time I was put off by Linda ‘only’ being 25/1…
Not so for Karolina Muchova, though…
I gave Muchova a big write-up for Wimbledon earlier this year, with our very first members-only, ante-post pick of 2026 recommending Karolina at 50/1 Each Way…
That 50/1 early-bird bet is now in fine shape, with Muchova priced as the bookies’ 5/6 (1.83) favourite to beat her countrywoman Noskova in tomorrow’s trophy match. Along with a half the odds Each Way payout of 25/1 already in the bag for reaching the final.
After a dramatic semi-final win over Coco Gauff yesterday, in which Muchova saved match point before winning it in a nerve-jangling final-set tiebreak. Members got this message from me on their WhatsApp. My palms were still sweating as I typed it…
Fancy joining a club like this?
The US Open is the next Major in our sights this summer, with North American hard-court build-up events starting in Washington from 27th July…
Enjoy the tennis…
Best wishes,
