Andreeva Eyes Another Deep Run as Resurgent Noskova Stands in Her Way
Third seed Mirra Andreeva is set to face unseeded Linda Noskova today in the quarterfinals of the Bad Homburg Open. The 18-year-old Russian began her campaign with a three-set win over Clara Tauson, rallying back after dropping the opening set. Noskova, meanwhile, impressed with a straight-sets victory over sixth seed Diana Shnaider, followed by a gritty comeback against Donna Vekic.
With a semifinal spot on the line, this matchup carries plenty of intrigue. While Andreeva has been one of the season’s most consistent performers, lifting titles in Dubai and Indian Wells, Noskova appears to be finding her rhythm, coming off a quarterfinal run in Nottingham. All signs point to a competitive encounter in Bad Homburg today.
Another day, another Andreeva slay 💅

Andreeva has had a strong season, starting with a semifinal run in Brisbane and a fourth-round finish at the Australian Open after skipping Adelaide. She hit her stride with back-to-back titles in Dubai and Indian Wells, beating top names like Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Elina Svitolina.
She followed up with quarterfinal appearances in Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros before a surprise first-round loss in Berlin to Magdalena Frech. Statistically, she’s been reliable with 132 aces in 40 matches, winning 68.3% on first serve, 45.7% on return, and converting 51.2% of break points.

Mirra Andreeva leads the head-to-head against Linda Noskova 3-1. Their rivalry began in Brisbane last year, where Noskova claimed the first victory in straight sets. But that turned out to be her only win so far. Andreeva hit back later that season with a comeback victory in Madrid and has since taken control of the rivalry.
This year, the young Russian has asserted her dominance, defeating Noskova twice, first in Brisbane, where she handed a bagel set to the Czech after last year’s loss, and again in Rome, both matches won in straight sets.
