Bouzkkova M. - Noskova L.

WTA Prague

In the first semi-final of the WTA tournament in Orag, the Czech derby between Maria Bouzkova and Linda Noskova awaits us.

Bouzkova has been in a very good form lately, she has almost 20 wins and 6 losses on clay this season, and in the last 10 matches she has only 3 losses. So far in this tournament, she has not had too difficult an opponent, she has beaten Kraus, Salkova and SElekhmeteva all them in two sets. I can freely say that this will be her first major test in this tournament,

Noskova is a very young player, she was born in 2004, and if she knows herself well, she could have a very bright career. She plays well on clay, this season she has almost 6 wins and 2 losses, while she is also in phenomenal form in the last 10 matches where she has only 1 loss. She had quite a hard job to reach the semi-finals, she beat Cornet in a big fight in three sets, as well as Hiba yesterday where she was better in the whole match even though she lost this one. I am very hopeful that is young and plays in such good shape and has proven that she can handle better players.

I expect that the young Noskova could make a surprise today, she is in a good rhythm and could use that as well as the outsider position.
