Linda Noskova is aiming to secure a maiden entry into the WTA Top-20 this week. Although the 20-year-old had to face only one seeded player so far (def. Zheng Qinwen), she has produced an immaculate level of tennis. Noskova’s two semifinal appearances in Abu Dhabi and Bad Homburg were followed by a sensational run to the summit clash at her home event in Prague. The World No. 27 has stitched up a win-loss ratio of 33-22 in 2025 so far.

Jessica Pegula vs Linda Noskova WTA China Open 2025 Prediction

Pegula looks in fine touch this week, and seems to be getting better with every passing match. The 31-year-old has navigated some challenges on her own service games, and finds a rhythm as the match goes on. There will be plenty of cross-court baseline exchanges against someone like Noskova, which the American thrives on. The Czech starlet surprisingly won a higher percentage of second serve points as opposed to first serve points in her quarterfinal. However, expect Pegula to play with a more attacking mindset in order to book her spot in Sunday’s final.

Prediction: Jessica Pegula in three sets.
