Linda Nosková started the tennis tournament in Miami victoriously. The 19-year-old Czech defeated Maria Timofeeva from Russia 6:4, 6:4 and in the third round she can challenge world number one Iga Šwiateková for the third time this year. In January, she sensationally defeated the Polish star at the Australian Open, two weeks ago she was not enough for her in Indian Wells.
Nosková had to wait until today for her match with Timofejevová due to Friday’s rain, and she fulfilled the role of the favorite in one hour and 22 minutes. The thirty-first ranked player against the hundred converted one break point in each set and only complicated the end a little when she did not convert three match points when her opponent was serving. However, she ended the match with a clean game in the next game.
Nosková remained in the singles as the last of the six Czechs. Šwiateková will face the Italian Camila Giorgio in the second round.
