Wimbledon 2026: Drama, celebrations, outfits – Arthur Fery, Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka among our award winners

How Linda Noskova won the women’s title is one of the best examples of a mental reset I’ve seen in a long time.

Watching Noskova go from leading 6-2 5-2 to being in a deciding set was hard to watch, because I know how quickly those doubts can creep in when a match starts to turn.

It would have been so easy for her head to drop, especially after Karolina Muchova had all the momentum.

The way she managed to recover was so impressive. She came back out for the third set looking like she had put everything that had happened behind her and just trusted her tennis again.

That’s much easier said than done. And she’s only 21!

Before Saturday’s extraordinary final, the most climactic moment for me was Muchova beating Gauff in a thrilling tie-break in the semi-finals.

Muchova made two ridiculous volleys – including a diving one – slipped on her first match point, and Gauff missed a match point when she went with the slice forehand at the net.

For there to be play like that in a tie-break for a place in the Wimbledon final was amazing to watch.
