Ankita Raina vs Linda Noskova: Prague Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Ankita Raina suffered a ruthless defeat at the hands of Dayana Yastremska in the final qualifying round, losing 6-0, 6-0 on Sunday. However, as a lucky loser, she made a remarkable comeback three days later, defeating Barbora Strycova 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Raina displayed resilience, coming back from a 1-3 deficit and saving seven of eight breakpoints in the third set. The 30-year-old Indian tennis player holds a career-best ranking of #160 (March 2020) and had a 2-12 career record on the tour prior to the Prague event. Her most significant achievements include a quarterfinal appearance at the 125k Mumbai in 2017 and an outside home performance at the W100 Suzhou in October 2019.

Linda Noskova showed no signs of concern in the first-round match against Elvina Kalieva, defeating the American, who is ranked over 100 places lower, with a convincing score of 6-1, 6-2. Noskova recorded 13 winners and unforced errors each in the match. Last year, as a wildcard, she made an impressive run to reach her first WTA quarterfinal and semifinal in this event. The 18-year-old has also achieved three more WTA quarterfinals in the current season, competing in Adelaide (final, as a qualifier), Lyon, and Warsaw, all on hard courts. Despite her recent struggles on clay and grass, which led to a decline in her ranking, Noskova has shown promising potential on hard courts.
