At the WTA event in the Japanese capital of Tokyo, where the Toray Pan Pacific Open Tennis 2025 is happening this week, America's McCartney Kessler will be in action early on Wednesday morning. Now ranked at 31st in the world, Kessler will be up against world number 17 Linda Noskova. On paper, this is a tough assignment for the US player, though of the two, she is the player who has shown stronger recent form.
While McCartney Kessler has won three of her last four hard-court matches, Linda Noskova arrives off the back of consecutive defeats, losing most recently to Katie Boulter, who is currently ranked below Kessler. Will it be three defeats in a row for the Czech player?

Our McCartney Kessler vs Linda Noskova Prediction
If McCartney Kessler was a narrow favorite to win this, I'm not sure I'd be arguing, which leaves me thinking that she's absolutely worth betting on to emerge victorious at odds of +130. The American competitor played well enough in the first round to suggest that she's still in form, while she's certainly shown glimpses of brilliance in the far east of late, beating Liudmila Samsonova in straight sets in Ningbo last week. Such form tells me that she has a better chance of beating Noskova, which she did earlier in 2025, than the early odds suggest. Our McCartney Kessler vs Linda Noskova Pick: McCartney Kessler to Win.
