Who Is Linda Noskova’s Coach? All About Her Support System at Wimbledon

Wimbledon has reached its business end, with the R16 firing up today, and for American fans, expectations from Amanda Anisimova will be high. The rising WTA star is set for a fierce battle on Court 1 against 30th seed Linda Noskova, who’s been lighting up the grass this season. From a QF run at the Nottingham Open to a semifinal finish in Bad Homburg, Noskova’s momentum is undeniable. But what’s the secret weapon behind her surge? It might just be the mastermind in her corner. As we brace for this thrilling American-Czech showdown, let’s uncover the coach shaping Noskova’s Wimbledon dream.

Who Coaches Linda Noskova?

Linda Noskova’s current coach is Tomas Krupa, and since their partnership began in 2022, the results have spoken volumes. Krupa, a former doubles specialist and the mastermind behind Czech greats like Tomáš Berdych, Jiří Veselý, and Barbora Strýcová, brought his battle-tested wisdom to the young star’s corner. Under his tutelage, Noskova has surged onto the big stage, breaking into the WTA Top 50 in 2022, stunning world No.1 Iga Świątek to reach the 2024 Australian Open quarter-finals, and capturing her first WTA title in Monterrey that same year.

Now, in 2025, the Czech powerhouse is building on that momentum. With SF appearances in Abu Dhabi and QF in Dubai and a career-best run into the R16 at Wimbledon, Noskova is proving she belongs on tennis’s biggest stages. Krupa’s influence shines through her sharpened court awareness, tactical precision, and unshakable grit, qualities now synonymous with her game. Their chemistry is clicking, and the results are reverberating across the WTA tour. In every rally and rise through the rankings, Krupa’s experience fuels Noskova’s evolution, from a rising prodigy to a serious Grand Slam threat.

Who is Tomas Krupa?

Tomáš Krupa, a former Czech pro, carved out his niche on the doubles court before rising as one of the most respected minds in coaching. He peaked at No. 278 in singles and reached No. 124 in doubles in March 1996. Alongside Pavel Vízner, Krupa made noise on the ATP Tour, reaching the semifinals at the 1993 Romanian Open, finishing runner-up in Prague in 1994, and making another semifinal run in Sankt Pölten in 1999. He also claimed four Challenger titles, showing off clean hands and savvy tactics at the net.

After hanging up his racket, Krupa’s second act began, and it was golden. He coached Radek Štěpánek during his rise to No. 8 in the world, building a partnership that spanned seven pivotal years. From 2009 to 2014, Krupa took Tomáš Berdych to the Top 10 and into the Wimbledon final in 2010, sharpening Berdych’s game into a formidable weapon on all surfaces.

Krupa’s coaching résumé reads like a Czech tennis hall of fame: Jiří Veselý, Barbora Strýcová, and even a brief stint with Karolína Plíšková in 2017–18. Since 2022, he’s been shaping Linda Nosková into a future Grand Slam force, his blueprint clear, his legacy louder than ever.

Notable matches under Tomáš Krupa’s guidance

In January 2024, Linda Nosková turned heads at the AO by toppling then-top seed Iga Świątek in a dramatic 3rd-round clash, rallying from a set down to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. It was her first Top 10 scalp and marked a thunderous entry into her maiden GD fourth round. By August, she added another feather to her cap, lifting her first WTA title in Monterrey with a gritty 7-6(6), 6-4 win over Lulu Sun, rocketing her into the WTA Top 50 and silencing the doubters.

Since teaming up with coach Tomáš Krupa in 2022, Nosková has evolved into a fearless force on tour. With standout runs at WTA 1000 events in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and now a sparkling R16 finish at Wimbledon 2025, she’s proving that her rise is no fluke. Under Krupa’s sharp eye and tactical brilliance, Nosková’s raw firepower is forging her into a future Grand Slam giant.

However, a tough test now looms, as Amanda Anisimova, fresh off a final run at the HSBC Championship, stands in the way. But with Tomáš Krupa in her corner, can the Czech outplay the in-form American?
