Head-to-Head Record
The pair has met only once before, with Kostyuk claiming a straight-sets victory (2-0) on hard courts in Madrid. This previous encounter suggests Kostyuk might have a tactical edge.

Noskova's recent matches show a mixed bag: two straight-set losses but also a hard-fought 2-1 win, highlighting her ability to push matches to three sets. Both players’ recent scores indicate a competitive matchup likely to stretch beyond straight sets.
Betting Angle
Given the pattern of recent close matches and the head-to-head, the expert pick leans toward over 22.5 total games, suggesting longer sets are likely. The AI pick favors Kostyuk winning in three sets at odds around 3.50, reflecting confidence in her ability to edge out Noskova in a tight contest. Bettors might find value in expecting a closely fought match with extended rallies.
