Head To Head: Noskova Driven By Season Numbers

The Czech right-hander has compiled an impressive 37-14 record this season, collecting two titles along the way to reach her career-high ranking of world No. 6. She comes off a dominant victory against Viktorija Golubic on Sunday, 4 Oct, backing up another win over Elena-Gabriela Ruse on Friday, 2 Oct.

Ekaterina Alexandrova holds a 19-22 season record (46% win rate) and comes off a victory against Aliaksandra Sasnovich on Friday, 2 Oct. Alexandrova has won four of her last five overall matches, but her 251-196 career tally faces a stern test against Noskova's current trajectory.
