• Prediction: Linda Noskova -4 Games Handicap
• Best Odds: +100
• Bookmaker: Pinnacle
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds updated at  7:00 am UK Time July 25, 2024. 

Linda Noskova is the clear favorite to win the Prague Open title at -135 and the -270 line against Linette predicts that the Czech native will at least be in the final. While young Laura Samson tries to pull an upset in the first semifinal of the day in Prague, we could potentially see an all-Czech final.

Noskova hasn’t dropped more than 3 games in a set through three wins in Prague, although her second-round opponent Eva Lys bowed out early in the second set to give Linda the quarterfinal appearance.

One reason that Magda Linette should have a semblance of confidence is that the Pole has a win over Noskova from their match on clay in Rome last year. The Polska native features odds of +400 to win the Prague title, and Pinnacle lists the line at +229 on the potential upset in this second semi of the day at this WTA250 event.

Linette’s serve against Tomova in the quarterfinal left much to be desired, as she faced 20 break-points despite the six aces. In ugly fashion, neither Tomova nor Linette could hold serve out of the gate as neither held in the first five games of the opening frame.

That serve is a major concern for me and it will be why Linette gets eliminated in the semifinal today. At -4 games on the handicap, Noskova will have the crowd, the familiarity of home, and the desire to win a title in her native Czech Republic. 

With even odds on the -4, even if Linette can push Noskova to 3 sets, it won’t be enough to cover the handicap when the match is said and done.
