Linda Noskova set up the first all-Czech women's Grand Slam final as she beat Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk 6-4 6-4 in the Wimbledon semi-final on Thursday.
After the nerve-jangling tension of compatriot Karolina Muchova's victory over Coco Gauff earlier on a sweltering Centre Court, 21-year-old Noskova breezed through in a low-key duel.
Ninth seed Noskova, playing in her first Grand Slam semi-final, looked calm and composed throughout and took the opening set as she pounced on a poor service game by Kostyuk at 4-5.
She got ahead early in the second set only for Kostyuk to briefly spark into life but clinched victory in one hour and 19 minutes.
