Marta Kostyuk vs Linda Noskova preview
Marta Kostyuk, the World No. 11 from Ukraine, has been in superb form so far at the 2026 US Open. Following her New York arrival on the back of fourth-round and quarterfinal finishes in Toronto and Cincinnati respectively, the 24-year-old downed Storm Hunter, former US Open champion Sloane Stephens and No. 18 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova, all in straight sets.
Kostyuk’s win over Alexandrova led to the Ukrainian reaching the fourth round in New York for the second time in her career, having previously achieved the feat last year. However, in the fourth round this time around, the Ukrainian faces a tough challenge in her bid to make a maiden US Open quarterfinal appearance, with reigning Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova awaiting her.
Noskova, the World No. 6 from Czechia, has also been in decent form at Flushing Meadows, but not as dominant as Kostyuk. The 21-year-old got past home hope Katie Volynets and Lanlana Tararudee in relatively straightforward fashion. However, in the third round, Ann Li, another home hope and the No. 29 seed, took the Czech to three sets.

Marta Kostyuk vs Linda Noskova prediction
Kostyuk and Noskova are set to face each other on a hard court for the first time at the 2026 US Open. Going by their respective performances at the New York major so far this year, it’s the Ukrainian who looks the narrow favorite on paper to secure progress to the women’s singles quarterfinals.
Hard courts are typically more suited to Kostyuk’s explosive baseline movement and efficiency on return compared to Noskova’s aggressive first-strike baseline game. Also, the Ukrainian has spent less time on court than her Czech opponent in the tournament, and this should help the World No. 11 be much fresher for the challenge ahead.
Pick: Kostyuk to win in two or three sets.
Marta Kostyuk vs Linda Noskova betting tips
Tip 1: Even if Kostyuk wins, Noskova’s baseline power is capable of pushing at least one set into deep territory, making the ‘over 21.5 total games’ a potentially valuable play.
Tip 2: Noskova has shown a tendency to start tight or experience early nerves. Look for Kostyuk to continue her trend of fast starts to claim the opening set, even if the match turns out to be a three-set thriller.
