Linda Noskova vs Dayana Yastremska: Match Prediction

Czech player Noskova might have an upper hand in the match as she took down Swiatek. Also, she is ranked above Yastremska by a significant margin. She is known for a big serve and a powerful baseline game, and can be considered a threat on a hard court. She has defeated players like Daria Kasatkina, Azarenka and Ons Jabeur. She is aggressive and has the backing up of both strong forehand and backhand that she can place deep in the court or at angles.

The opponent, from Ukraine, Yastremska has a very powerful groundstroke. Yastremska is an aggressive baseline player whose offensive approach helps her to hit a lot of winners – she has hit 33 in her first two finals and 49 when she won her third title. Her groundstrokes are hit with unwavering force, depth, and speed, with her forehand being her best shot due to the incredible amount of racquet head speed she generates. She is capable of winning a high proportion of points, especially when she hits an inside-in forehand, and she can strike winners from any position on the court with her forehand.

Prediction: Linda Noskova to win in three sets.
