At the Miami Open on Thursday, not for the first time in recent weeks, Linda Noskova and Sorana Cirstea will clash in a battle between Czechia and Romania. These two players faced off in Dubai earlier in 2026, with Cirstea coming out on top in straight sets. Just over a week ago, in Indian Wells, the pair met again, and this time, it was Noskova who got the job done, battling back to secure victory after losing a first-set tiebreak.
Having beaten Cirstea in Indian Wells last week, Noskova, who is the higher-ranked player, comes here as the favorite, though I'm not too sure I agree with that. That match was close, while Cirstea does have a win against Noskova under her belt in 2026, so the Romanian probably deserves a little more market respect, especially as she's already played in Miami and may thus be more adjusted to the surface.

Our Linda Noskova vs Sorana Cirstea Prediction
At the end of the day, this could (and likely will) be a close match, so there's no result that would be a huge surprise here. However, I am very much of the opinion that Sorana Cirstea should be a little shorter in the betting. After all, the Romanian likes Miami, reaching the semi-finals previously, while Linda Noskova doesn't have the best record at this tournament.
We also know that Cirstea has what it takes to defeat Noskova, doing so back in February, and if we throw into the mix the fact that she already has a match under her belt having played in the first round, she looks a decent bet.
