Linda Nosková has not yet won a Grand Slam title. But as she steps onto Centre Court for the Wimbledon final, she’ll have both a packed house and the people who have known her longest cheering her on. That support system includes her coach, her family, and other members of her inner circle. Here’s who we can expect to see in Linda Nosková’s player’s box:
Her coaches, Tomáš Krupa and Lukáš Dlouhý
Nosková speaks to Krupa at the 2024 Australian Open.
Nosková’s primary coach is Tomáš Krupa, a former Czech professional who specialized in doubles and won four titles on the Challenger circuit. As a coach, he is best known for his work with Tomáš Berdych from 2009 to 2014, a period that included Berdych’s run to the Wimbledon men’s final, where Novak Djokovic ended up claiming his third title. He has also coached Czechia’s Radek Štěpánek, Jiří Veselý, and Barbora Strýcová.
Over the past year, Lukáš Dlouhý joined her team in a supporting role. Dlouhý is a retired Czech doubles specialist who reached a career-high ranking of world No. 5 in doubles in 2009 and won 10 doubles titles, including Grand Slam final appearances at the 2007 French Open and 2007 U.S. Open alongside Pavel Vízner. He was also Strýcová’s final coach before her retirement.
Her friend, Agáta Černá
Both a tennis coach and a content creator for the CANAL+ Sport affiliate in Czechia, Agáta Černá is also a former pro tennis player. Her exact role on Nosková’s team is unclear, but in an interview with Czech news site iDNES in November, it was said Černá “travels to many tournaments as her supporter and psychological support.”
Černá “told me recently that she’s my talisman, if I’m doing so well with her,” Nosková told reporters at the Wuhan Open in 2025. “We’ve been friends for a long time, we played junior tournaments together. I don’t have such a large team, so it’s nice to have a new, nice face here.”
Her father, Drahoš Nosek
Nosková’s father, Drahoš Nosek, sometimes attends her matches, but hasn’t been spotted in recent tournaments, though he is at the Wimbledon finals today. Her mother, Ivana Nosková, tragically passed away shortly before Nosková was to compete at Wimbledon in July 2024, following a long battle with cancer.
