President Pavel honours Czech Wimbledon stars at Prague Castle

President Petr Pavel welcomed this year's Czech Wimbledon champions and finalists to Prague Castle on Friday, thanking them for briefly rekindling "the right kind of patriotism" across the country through their performances.

The president said the players deserved recognition not only for representing Czechia with distinction, but also for their "amazing" sportsmanship.

Those attending the ceremony included Wimbledon singles champion Linda Nosková and runner-up Karolína Muchová, as well as legends' doubles winner Lucie Šafářová and finalist Barbora Strýcová.
