Elina Svitolina vs Linda Noskova preview
19th seed Elina Svitolina has set up a fourth-round clash with Linda Noskova at the 2024 Australian Open on Monday, January 22.
Sviotlina continued her good start this year against Viktorija Golubic in the third round, with a 6-2, 6-3 victory. She's yet to drop a set at the Australian Open, with straight sets wins in her first two rounds against Taylah Preston and Viktoriya Tomova.
Linda Noskova, meanwhile, is coming off arguably the biggest win of her career. She clawed back from one set down to defeat the No. 1 seed Iga Swiatek 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the third round.
The big-hitting Czech powered her way back in the second set after losing the first, breaking in the eighth game. She held in the next game to send that match into a decider. An unforgettable third-set win saw her become the first teenager to defeat the WTA’s world No. 1 at the Australian Open since 1999.
She started the tournament on a high with a victory over No. 34 seed Marie Bouzkova in the first round before overcoming American wildcard McCartney Kessler in a tight three-set second-round match.

Elina Svitolina vs Linda Noskova prediction
Svitolina has sailed through her opening three rounds without dropping a set. She's carried her good form from Auckland where she reached the final, and has looked good all-round.
She won an impressive 76% points on her first serve in her third-round encounter and was equally potent on her returns, breaking her opponent's serve five times out of eight.
Linda Noskova, on the other hand, relied on her big-hitting prowess which saw her oust the No. 1 seed Iga Swiatek in the previous round. She was also impressive on serve, winning 73% of points on her first serve.
While Svitolina might hold the upper hand going into the contest based on current form, there is no discounting another surprise from the teen.
Pick: Svitolina in three sets
