Anna Kalinskaya of Russia will take on Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic in the quarterfinal round of the 2025 Toray Pan Pacific Open on Friday.

Set to play in her 8th quarterfinals this year, Noskova is the slight favorite at -165, but Kalinskaya is no pushover at +125 as the Russian boasts a career 65 percent win rate in hard-court matches.

Current Form:

Noskova is on the verge of another deep run in Tokyo after reaching the final at the 2025 China Open and the round of 16 at the Wuhan Open. The Czech rallied from a set down to beat McCartney Kessler 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 in the second round. Noskova’s aggressive play generated 10 aces and 42 points behind the first serves, helping her secure 13 out of 16 service games. Noskova also scored 34 return points to capture four breakpoint conversions against the American. The Czech is now 25-16 in hard-court matches in 2025.

Kalinskaya salvaged a top-20 win after downing compatriot Diana Shnaider in the round of 16, 7-6, 2-6, 7-6. Despite conceding six service breaks to Shnaider, the Russian managed to gut out the close win by outlasting her foe in the two nerve-wracking tiebreakers. Kalinskaya collected 50 points behind the first serves and scored four breakpoint conversions in the match.
