Recent form
In the news
“"I know the match is not over until it's over. I let [the third set] go away a little too far, but I'm still glad I pulled it out."”
Playing style
Linda Nosková plays an aggressive baseline game powered by a big first serve averaging over 160 km/h and solid, deep-placing forehand and backhand groundstrokes that she hits with pace and precision, allowing her to dictate points from the backcourt. Her unreadable serve and ability to hit winners from both wings make her dangerous against top players, though she mixes in net approaches for variety. This power-oriented style thrives on fast surfaces like hard courts but requires consistent second serves to avoid vulnerability.
