Muchova disappointed by Wimbledon final loss, but sees motivation for future

Karolina Muchova admitted to deep disappointment following her Wimbledon final loss to compatriot Linda Noskova. The defeat marks her second Grand Slam final where she fell short of victory, having also lost the 2024 Roland Garros final.

"I am very disappointed. It's a tough loss, although I would have signed up to reach the final before the tournament started," Muchova stated. She expressed hope that in a few days, she will be able to appreciate her achievement of reaching the final.

“

I am very disappointed. It's a tough loss, although I would have signed up to reach the final before the tournament started.

Muchova analyzed her performance, noting her effort to fight for every point in a tournament that holds significant meaning for her. She felt she did everything possible to break her opponent's serve and maintain her own, aiming to avoid a clear defeat. She believed she could turn the match around, especially after winning the second set.

“

When the days pass, I will appreciate the result achieved.

"It will take me a few days to recover from this defeat. I am sad and disappointed," she insisted, adding that playing in the final is very important and that her tennis is improving. "Winning a Grand Slam is still one of my dreams. Now it's a blow, but also motivation to work harder," said the Wimbledon runner-up.

The Czech player acknowledged that her performance against Noskova was one of her worst in the tournament. She felt tired physically after a very demanding semifinal match against Coco Gauff, which she felt impacted her play. She also admitted to feeling nervous, driven by her strong desire to win the tournament, which she felt caused her to be "blocked from the start."

“

I just wanted to fight for every point because it is a Wimbledon tournament that means a lot to me.

Muchova praised Noskova's performance, highlighting her strong serve and courageous play. "She served very well. I struggled to return her serve, and she was very brave. She fights for every point and is a great competitor," Muchova concluded.
