Shuai Zhang vs Linda Noskova prediction
Shuai Zhang suffered an early exit at the Linz Open as she was defeated by Anastasia Potapova in straight sets. This was a fifth straight loss for the Chinese player, who has not won a match since her run to the semi-finals of the Merida Open in late February. Worryingly for her, she has failed to even win a set across her last four matches.
Linda Noskova is her opponent. The Czech struggled during the early part of the season, but suddenly came alive at Indian Wells as he went all the way to the semi-finals, losing to world number one Aryna Sabalenka. Despite suffering an early exit in Miami, Noskova then won both of her singles matches for the Czech Republic in their qualifying match against Switzerland in the Billie Jean King Cup. This included a dramatic win over Belinda Bencic in three sets.
Noskova is not as effective on clay, but she’s a top 15 player in the world and should be able to come through this in straight sets.
