Kessler, McCartney - Kostyuk, Marta

Noskova won this season 6:2 6:0 against Eala on hard court, which is truly disappointing. However, the way Eala is performing in this tournament, it seems like it should be ignored. Eala eliminated Rybakina from Svitolina! Not a single set was lost. Her game is impressive, and her career is on the rise. As I mentioned yesterday, she is one of the fastest-rising women's tennis players. Eala's handicap against Noskova is that she is left-handed, which can have an impact on grass courts, as the ball comes to Noskova's backhand at an unusual angle. Noskova also does not have as much comfort in dictating with her forehand shots. Although Noskova has a better serve, statistically, Eala performs better on her first and second serves. If Noskova's first serve falters and Eala can extend the rallies, then Eala will have an advantage. No one expected Eala to go this far in the tournament, so she is playing without pressure and with a lot of confidence, especially after her serious victory against Peru. Therefore, Noskova may still be the favorite, but we have already seen in this tournament that Eala is not a problem.
