Czechia’s Linda Noskova is living in retrospect. While preparing for her second Wimbledon, Noskova faced her life’s saddest day, the demise of her beloved mother. First time without her support, Noskova managed to enter the second round but returned home after losing against Canada’s Andreescu. Away from Wimbledon madness, this Czechia player takes her followers on an emotional journey showing how close she was with her mother.
Noskova penned down a heartwarming tribute to her late mother on her official Instagram platform. She shared many photos with her and wrote, “Love you forever💙” This Czechia player was about to start her Wimbledon 2024 main draw and her mother passed away a day before her main draw was about to take place. The news was confirmed by Noskova’s club TK Precheza Tennis Club’s manager Daniela Hutkova. Hutkova shared it with Czechia news source Denik Sport.
For Noskova, her mother had been one of her biggest supporters and she also traveled with the WTA star on her tours. In January, when Noskova reached the Australian Open’s quarterfinals, Denik Sport interviewed Noskova’s late mother Ivana about her feelings. Despite being happy, Ivana Noskova revealed that she couldn’t join her daughter in Melbourne this time. “Certainly not (about traveling to Melbourne for the Australian Open), even if she played the final. I am sick, the long journey itself is exhausting. We watch everything at home, keep our fingers crossed and stay connected. Over the years, we have traveled a lot together”- she said.
This Czechia player’s mother was battling with cancer for a long time. While her health conditions didn’t let her join Noskova in Melbourne, she was expecting her daughter to perform her best. This Czechia player fought with all her heart and defeated Sara Errani at Wimbledon’s first round. However, in the second round, Noskova lost to Bianca Andreescu ending her Wimbledon journey this year. Following her latest message, it seemed that Noskova is diving into her life’s best memories spent with her mother as she shared some of her favorite snippets with her Instagram followers.
Ivana Noskova’s death before Wimbledon must have impacted the Czechia player deeply. Earlier in January, Noskova’s mother revealed her heartfelt desire to travel to London with her daughter.
Linda Noskova’s mother was “really looking forward to Wimbledon”
This year’s Wimbledon was truly saddening for Noskova as her mother passed away before the British Grand Slam revealing her wish to attend it. In Denik Sport’s interview in January, Noskova’s late mother was asked if there was any tour that she wanted to visit. Ivana Noskova said in her response, “I’m really looking forward to Wimbledon! It didn’t work out once, last year she was officially there for the first time, but I couldn’t for health reasons. I’m really looking forward to the atmosphere, the specific game on grass. Just like traditional strawberries with whipped cream.”
Noskova exited Wimbledon after her defeat against Canada’s Andreescu but remained the number 2 Czechia player. Despite not being able to watch her daughter’s game, Noskova’s late mother died knowing that her daughter was still one of the best in Czechia’s tennis scene.
Nevertheless, Linda Noskova’s tribute to her mother expressed the void she felt after her mother passed away. Following her post it feels like Noskova wishes to remember her mother through all their beautiful memories.
