Match Preview
Wang Xinyu just pulled off an epic comeback today, defeating the 24th seed and former French Open champion Ostapenko to become the only Chinese player to reach the last 32. She is currently in great form. Her opponent, Noskova, is an experienced 13th seed with strong capabilities. I believe Wang Xinyu has a good chance to continue her underdog run for the following reasons:
Wang Xinyu’s aggressive play: having just beaten former French Open champion Ostapenko, she holds a clear psychological edge. Her serve and baseline attacks are key to her success, combined with excellent speed and stamina.
Noskova’s solid consistency: as the 13th seed, she brings rich Grand Slam experience, excels in returning serves and defensive counterattacks, and can effectively limit Wang Xinyu’s performance.
Head-to-head history: they have met once before, with Noskova winning 2-0, but Wang Xinyu’s current form and confidence are entirely different this time.
In my opinion, as long as Wang Xinyu maintains her offensive pressure and minimizes unforced errors, she has a strong chance to win. My prediction is a 2-1 victory for Wang Xinyu, with her aggressive style likely being the decisive factor.
