    The least surprising thing was Noskova leaving the court, giving her a bit of time to try to put it behind her.

    The crowd is going to start getting behind Noskova, which could help her.

    If Muchova wins the title here, she will have saved the most championship points in grand slam history.

    A much-needed first serve for Linda Noskova gets her to 30-30, but a bad miss hands over a break point to Karolina Muchova.

    Noskova holds her nerve to avert disaster - but Muchova will have another look here...

    The crowd have been cheering on Karolina Muchova after her tough start to this final.

    You get the sense it will be Linda Noskova who needs some lifting after the conclusion of that second set.

    This is anyone's match now - something I definitely didn't expect to be writing half an hour or so ago.

    Unsurprisingly, Noskova decides she needs a break before the final set.

    That bathroom is going to feel like a lonely place. Maybe a cold splash of water on the face might calm her down.

    Meanwhile, Muchova strolls over to her team and exchanges some ideas with her coach Sven Groeneveld.

    Imagine the message is 'keep calm and carry on'!

    If Muchova goes on to win this will this be the greatest Wimbledon final comeback ever?

    It's hard to watch because we've all been players and we know what that feels like when you start to get tight but you can't loosen up, then the lead starts to dissipate and nerves start to unravel.

    I can't believe this, actually.

    It is extraordinary how it turns around. That is what happens, nerves, one of the biggest titles in tennis, it can affect anybody.

    This is going to be very tough.

    Can you believe it? I feel for Noskova.

    Linda Noskova, unsurprisingly, has stormed off court.

    She's going to be thinking of those five championship points for a long, long time if this final doesn't go her way.

    I am fascinated by Noskova's box. They don't clap, they don't stand, they don't do anything.

    It is so tense, not just for the players but for the people around me. People are getting their phones out to get the winning moments, and then the phones are going away.

    For Noskova, it is a bit of a tough watch, she is not slowing down and it is almost better for her when Muchova is serving. It has been a tough 25 minutes.

    Wow. Wow. Wow.

    We thought it was all over, but somehow Karolina Muchova has stayed alive to force a deciding set.

    Linda Noskova holds her hands up in the air after another miss.

    She's getting more and more annoyed by the minute.

    Karolina Muchova leaps into a forehand and brings up two set points.

    Quite the contrast between the two player camps.

    Muchova's team are constantly on their feet. Noskova's crew are doing very little.

    This is all falling to pieces for Noskova. It is getting worse and worse unfortunately for her.

    It's not a good sign when you're covering your head in your towel.

    Linda Noskova has seen five championship points come and go.

    She might not get another.

    I mean, this is extremely excruciating if you're in the Noskova camp.

    The 21-year-old goes over to the chair and hides under Wimbledon towel at the changeover...

    Sure she'll be hearing a few voices in what she hopes is a cocoon.

    We're seeing more negative body language from Noskova now. Looking at her box and stretching out her arms as if asking 'what do I do now?'

    Oh. My. Word.

    Linda Noskova had the point on her racquet but she flings it both wide and long.

    After fending off five championship points, Karolina Muchova will serve to force a decider.
