Noskova won her third WTA title and first major in astonishing style, recovering from wasting five match points in the second set to beat Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 in London.

Aryna Sabalenka, who crashed out of Wimbledon in the last 16 to Japan’s Naomi Osaka, remains world number one ahead of Kazakh Elena Rybakina, who fell in the third round to Belgian Elise Mertens.

American Jessica Pegula, a quarterfinalist in Wimbledon, moves up one place to third, ahead of compatriot Coco Gauff, who jumps three places to fourth after her run to the semifinal in London.
