Linda Noskova vs Maya Joint prediction

Linda Noskova will look for a deep run in Qatar as she targets a spot in the top ten for the very first time.

The Czech, 21, is aiming to build upon an excellent 2025 where she was a runner-up at three tournaments and truly announced herself as one of the major threats across main draws.

First up here, the ninth seed faces teenager Maya Joint who is now at a career-high of 29 in the world despite being on a current three-match losing run.

Noskova has the greater firepower here and it may well suit her in these conditions.

Joint has been overpowered by big-hitters in her last three outings and it may well be an area she needs to find a solution as Noskova will probably prove too strong here too.
