Linda Noskova of Czech Republic will tussle with a streaking Sonay Kartal of Great Britain on Friday in the quarterfinal round of the 2025 China Open in Beijing, China.
Noskova is a -200 favorite ahead of her quarterfinal showdown with the +150 underdog Kartal, who is coming off a massive upset over Russian teen sensation Mirra Andreeva in the previous round.
Current Form:
Noskova blasted Anastasia Potapova 6-2, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinal of the China Open. The Czech rising star has reached the last eight of a WTA 1000 event for the second time in her career. Noskova first played in the quarterfinals at this level at the 2025 Dubai Open, where she lost to eventual runner-up Clara Tauson 6-7, 6-4. Noskova is 5-1 in her last six matches and 20-13 on the hard court in 2025.
Kartal punched her ticket to quarterfinals with a massive upset over Mirra Andreeva 7-5, 2-6, 7-5. Kartal , who carries a 12-9 record in 2025, won 47 points behind the first ball and captured two key breakpoints, including a clutch service break in the 12th game of the deciding set. With the victory, Kartal reached the quarterfinal of a WTA 1000 tournament for the first time.

Our Sonay Kartal vs Linda Noskova Prediction
Sonay Kartal deserves credit for her stunning win over Andreeva, who arrived in Beijing as one of the favorites to win the China Open crown.
However, the Brit must sustain her high-level play if she wants to overcome Noskova, who is on a tear in this tournament.
The Czech has won 5 of her last six matches and salvaged a top-10 win, her fourth of the year, when shed outgunned Zheng Qinwen 6-4, 3-6, 3-0 in the third round.
Noskova has established herself as a rock-solid bet at -200 moneyline, but Kartal’s victory over Andreeva makes her an intriguing pick at +150 ($150 profit for every $100 Bet), especially for bettors who have a massive risk appetite.
I am swinging for the fences in this one. I am picking Kartal to upset Noskova in a thrilling three-set classic.
Our betting prediction for Sonay Kartal vs. Linda Noskova: Sonay Kartal will win.
