hour and 19 minutes on Centre Court in the second women\u2019s semi-final on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/linda-noskova\">Noskova<\/a> faced only one break point in the match \u2014 when she was broken at 3-1 in the second set \u2014 but she broke <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/marta-kostyuk\">Kostyuk<\/a> three times, including when the Ukrainian served at 4-5 to stay in both sets.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old Czech\u2019s victory has set up an all-Czech <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> final after her compatriot Karolina Muchova overcame Coco Gauff in the first semi-final.<\/p>\n<p>In her on-court interview, Noskova said: \u201cA semi-final at a Grand Slam is never easy, no matter who you play, no matter where you play. I just tried to be as patient as possible, keep cool and somehow I did the last point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always just try to focus on my self, my game. When I play my best, I know I can play with the best players in the world and have a great result, which is a final in a Grand Slam I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noskova added: \u201cI was not watching a lot of tennis as a kid, but I do remember when Petra Kvitova won her Grand Slam here, maybe one of the first moments I realise sport such as tennis exists.<\/p>\n<h2>Wimbledon News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/wimbledon-karolina-muchova-coco-gauff-wta-rankings\"><strong>Wimbledon: Karolina Muchova closes in on rankings breakthrough with thrilling Coco Gauff win<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/exclusive-sabine-lisicki-opens-up-emotional-2013-wimbledon-final\"><strong>Exclusive: Sabine Lisicki makes honest confession about her 2013 Wimbledon final loss<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
