At what age did Linda Nosková become the youngest Wimbledon champion since Petra Kvitová in 2011?

The story behind the answer

Linda Nosková became the youngest Wimbledon champion since Petra Kvitová in 2011 at 21 years and 236 days old.

Nosková defeated fellow Czech Karolína Muchová in the 2026 Wimbledon women’s singles final on July 11, winning 6–2, 5–7, 6–3. The victory gave Nosková her first major singles title and her third WTA Tour title overall.

The age comparison refers to the player’s age on the day she won the championship, not her age when she entered the tournament or reached the final. Nosková was born on November 17, 2004, making the precise “21 years 236 days” figure possible.

The result also had a notable Czech connection: Nosková and Muchová made it the first Wimbledon women’s singles final contested by two Czech players. Petra Kvitová’s 2011 title is the benchmark because she was the previous youngest Wimbledon women’s champion before Nosková’s breakthrough.
