    John McEnroe
    Three-time Wimbledon singles champion on BBC One

    It has been really disappointing with Muchova's forehand this match so far.

  2. Muchova 2-6 2-4 Noskova*

    Gigi Salmon
    BBC Sport tennis commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Finish line is well and truly coming into sight for 21-year-old Noskova.

  3. Noskova breaks in second set

    Muchova 2-6 2-4 Noskova*

    And there it is for Linda Noskova.

    A set and a break lead - and now serving when just two games from a first Wimbledon title.

  4. Break points Noskova

    A really poor miss from Karolina Muchova.

    Two break points.

  5. 'Special shot'

    *Muchova 2-6 2-3 Noskova

    Pat Cash
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That was a special shot from Noskova. It wasn't easy.

    That was right around the side, curling right around it. That was a great shot, great skills.

  6. *Muchova 2-6 2-3 Noskova

    Linda Noskova is annoyed at herself after she strikes long as she eyed an opening after taking the first point on Karolina Muchova's serve.

    But Muchova drops a forehand short and she will face more pressure here at 15-30.

  7. 'Muchova still looks nervous'

    *Muchova 2-6 2-3 Noskova

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC One

    Sven [Groeneveld, Muchova's coach] in that last game was making more of an effort in between points, telling her to get forward. It feels Noskova has had so much space to work with and he is telling [Muchova] her to get momentum through the ball.

    That was the first time I saw an intensity. It seems like she was sitting on the back foot, allowing Noskova to get the first strike in. Muchova still looks nervous, but I like to see her jumping out after the change of ends with a bit more in her step.

  8. *Muchova 2-6 2-3 Noskova

    Tracy Austin
    Two-time Grand Slam champion on BBC One

    It's so tough to defend the T serve because Noskova has the wide serve also.

    You've got to cover a lot of real estate on the return.

  9. Noskova holds

    *Muchova 2-6 2-3 Noskova

    At the other end, a few signs of frustration perhaps beginning to show here for Linda Noskova when she nets for 15-15.

    She's relieved to be able to meet a second volley at the net on a key third point, though, and completes her recovery by winning a couple of exciting points which draw 'oohs' and 'aahs' from the crowd.

    Nicely done.

  10. Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport tennis news reporter at Wimbledon

    Much better from Muchova.

    A rapid hold to love shifts the pressure straight back to Noskova. It's your turn, Linda - let's see how you're feeling now?

    Muchova does a quick Muhammad Ali-style shuffle of her feet.

    That's a sure sign she's feeling a bit of extra pep in her step - and she's making Noskova know that.

  11. Muchova holds

    Muchova 2-6 2-2 Noskova*

    Karolina Muchova hits a forehandPA Media

    After that positive game, Karolina Muchova absolutely must back it up with another hold of serve here.

    And that is exactly the game she needed.

    Muchova appears to be finding a bit of form as she polishes off a love hold with a forehand into the corner.

    Loud, encouraging cheers from the Centre Court crowd. Plenty of signs her confidence levels are beginning to rise here.

  12. 'Seeing a few more cracks'

    *Muchova 2-6 1-2 Noskova

    Eugenie Bouchard
    Former Canadian tennis player on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Muchova just looks a bit more comfortable in these rallies. She is seeing a few more cracks in Noskova.

    She is a just a bit closer in this match now.

    I'm beginning to feel sorry for Muchova... nerves seem to have got the better of her, and against a clean ball-striker like Noskova, the outcome seems inevitable

    It’s not Muchova game so far…

  14. Noskova saves break points to hold

    *Muchova 2-6 1-2 Noskova

    It isn't third time lucky for Karolina Muchova.

    This is much, much better from the 10th seed, but she misses the line with a forehand on the stretch and Linda Noskova holds to edge back in front.

    A first real test passed for the 21-year-old Noskova.

  15. Third break point Muchova

    Muchova 2-6 1-1 Noskova*

    A straight serve down the middle is enough for Linda Noskova to escape the second of those break points.

    But Karolina Muchova has a third opportunity after Noskova nets!

    Karolina Muchova returns servePA Media

    Muchova is way back, that was a 93mph serve. I'm not sure why she keeps allowing that to happen.

  17. Muchova 2-6 1-1 Noskova*

    Eugenie Bouchard
    Former Canadian tennis player on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Muchova wants to be seeing these types of points, where she can get Noskova to overhit a little bit.

  18. Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport tennis news reporter at Wimbledon

    The decibels go as loud as they have all match when Muchova holds serve.

    The 15,000 fans on Centre Court, who have all paid a pretty penny for this privilege, want to see a competitive contest.

    Plenty of them have already seen Britain's Henry Patten win the men's doubles earlier, of course.

    And this is already more competitive than Iga Swiatek's 6-0 6-0 dismantling of Amanda Anisimova last year.

  19. Break points Muchova

    Muchova 2-6 1-1 Noskova*

    A huge cross-court forehand winner from Karolina Muchova for 15-30.

    Can she battle her way into this match with an early breakthrough?

    Linda Noskova nets... Two break points!

  20. Muchova 2-6 1-1 Noskova*

    John McEnroe
    Three-time Wimbledon singles champion on BBC One

    She is usually very calm, Muchova, but she is not looking like that. She is looking like she does not know what to do.
