The ninth seed produced a commanding performance on Wednesday, defeating Belgium’s Elise Mertens 6-3, 7-5 in a quarter-final clash played under intense heat on Court One.
Noskova controlled the match from the opening exchanges, completing the victory in one hour and 50 minutes to secure a place in the final four of the All England Club tournament.
She will face Ukrainian 12th seed Marta Kostyuk in Thursday’s semi-final as she continues her pursuit of a maiden Grand Slam final appearance.
The achievement marked a major milestone for Noskova, who was competing in only her second Grand Slam quarter-final after previously reaching the last eight at the 2024 Australian Open.
By reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals, Noskova became the youngest first-time Grand Slam semi-finalist at the tournament since fellow Czech star Kvitova achieved the feat in 2010.
Kvitova went on to become a Wimbledon champion twice, winning the title in 2011 and again in 2014, before announcing her retirement from professional tennis last year.
Reflecting on the influence of her compatriot, Noskova said Kvitova’s success helped shape her passion for the sport.
“When Petra won two Wimbledons, I was definitely the one that noticed that. Maybe she helped me to get into tennis a little bit. For me, she’s such a person to look up to,” Noskova said.
“I would love to follow her in her footsteps. If the outcome’s going to be the same, I would love nothing more.”
Noskova also spoke about her admiration for Kvitova’s personality and aggressive style of play, which made the former champion a role model for young Czech players.
“We had two matches against each other, actually. Both of those, I was just kind of stunned that I was on the same court with Petra Kvitova,” she said.
“As a kid, I was always looking up to her. When I didn’t really know much about tennis, she was the face of Czech tennis.”
Noskova arrived at Wimbledon in impressive form after winning the Berlin Open, her first grass-court title, and has carried that momentum into the tournament.
The Czech youngster defeated former Australian Open champion Madison Keys in the fourth round before overcoming Mertens in the quarter-finals to continue her outstanding run.
Having reached the fourth round at Wimbledon last year, Noskova is now just one victory away from reaching her first Grand Slam final.
“The feelings are incredible, like never before. This is what I am playing tennis for, these big stages and big matches,” she said.
“I was a little bit nervous before the match, I am not going to lie. When I am putting pressure on myself that is usually when I play my best. I really enjoyed this match.”
For Mertens, the defeat ended a memorable Wimbledon campaign. The 30-year-old 25th seed had been chasing her first semi-final appearance at the tournament after an impressive run that included a victory over second seed Elena Rybakina.
