Linda Noskova vs Maria Sakkari prediction
Linda Noskova will hope to utilise her power effectively on the clay court surface and whilst her aggression on court normally works well, allowing the Czech to dominate rallies and control the tempo, Noskova must be careful to avoid gifting Maria Sakkari points through errors. A former French Open semi-finalist, Sakkari should not be underestimated, even if it has been a long while since she’s been at her best.
Noskova will be expected to win this match but Sakkari is a player who cannot be underestimated. She is a strong clay court player and whilst a lack of confidence may be the issue for her right now, at Sakkari’s best, she could easily overcome Noskova. It would be no surprise to see a close battle between these two and backing over 2.5 sets warrants serious consideration regardless of who emerges victorious.
Linda Noskova vs Maria Sakkari tip: Over 2.5 total sets
