Head-to-Head Battle: Noskova Holds the Edge

The numbers say Noskova has been ultra-consistent across 2026, building a 37-15 year-to-date record (71% win percentage) alongside two titles. She enters this match coming off a loss on 14 October, but her 63% career win percentage highlights her high overall baseline at this level.

Marta Kostyuk is certainly no easy beat, boasting an impressive 36-12 YTD record (75% win percentage) and three career titles. Like her opponent, Kostyuk's most recent outing ended in a loss on 22 October. Sitting at World No. 10 with 3,910 ranking points, Kostyuk won their first encounter back in April 2026. On the head-to-head board, Noskova carries favourite status, while Kostyuk sits as the underdog.
