Sonay Kartal vs Linda Noskova: Prediction for the Match on October 02, 2025
Among the other WTA 1000 China Open 2025 quarterfinals, the encounter between Sonay Kartal and Linda Noskova draws attention as the next one. As recently as this season, Kartal was ranked outside the Top 50, however, she broke through to new heights by knocking out No. 5 Mirra Andreeva, achieving her first Top-10 triumph and her first-ever WTA 1000 quarterfinal. Noskova, one of the WTA’s brightest young names, is already very strong and has advanced easily without losing a set. Their fight is a combination of going strong against going steady, with the odds favoring Noskova while Kartal is the one with the upset aura. Bettors will find this encounter to be very good for set markets and total games.

Sonay Kartal has had a career-defining week in Beijing. The British player shocked Mirra Andreeva 7-5, 2-6, 7-5 in a fight full of twists and turns, signifying her first ever Top-10 success and knocking out the first WTA 1000 quarterfinal. Previously, she beat Daria Kasatkina and a few other experienced players without letting her nerves get the better of her.
Kartal 2025 season has been a step-by-step rise, her main achievement being consistency on hard courts. Her manner of play is a good combination of resilience and variety-rather she uses slices, spins, and counter-punching to wear out your typical power player. While fighting Andreeva, she demonstrated her mental strength by saving crucial break points and ending the game with grace.
Sonay, in her reaction to the match, said that unpredictability and being on the offensive under pressure were key. Her strength to switch tactics and prolong grips makes her a tough opponent. What I mean is, if she gets into Noskova’s business, Sonay’s arsenal can convert yet another long match into a battle of endurance.
🇨🇿 Linda Noskova: form and statistics
Linda Noskova at only 20 years of age has already made it known that she is one of the WTA’s most promising talents. She is especially recognized for her powerful serve, heavy groundstrokes, and aggressive baseline control. Noskova has been going up the rankings rather consistently and is flourishing in rapid hard-court venues such as Beijing. Last time out, she beat Anastasia Potapova 6-2, 6-4, running through Potapova’s serve and showing calmness in the crucial moments. Noskova’s route to the quarterfinal has been smooth and quick, not letting too many games slip away and also managing to stay far from three-set matches, which will be advantageous against a player like Kartal.
These two have only faced off once before at the 2025 Rome Open, where Noskova won 6-4, 6-2. That result not only gives her the upper hand mentally but a game plan as well: get inside the baseline, be the one to control the points from the start and do not allow Kartal to get easy changes.
Even though Noskova’s attacking playstyle puts her in a position to win this match, her occasional frailty in long, draw-out, tactical exchanges could be alluded to here. Should Kartal lengthen the rallies with Noskova, she will need to show that she is capable of remaining calm.
