Linda Nosková beat Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine 6:2 and 6:4 in the opening match of the WTA Finals in Indian Wells. The Czech tennis player thus managed a successful debut at the prestigious tournament for the season's eight best players. irozhlas.cz ↗

Nosková was originally scheduled to face world number one Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan. However, Rybakina withdrew from the tournament on Saturday due to an unspecified injury. Kostyuk subsequently entered the competition as a replacement. teraz.sk ↗

The Czech player dominated the match in two sets and, according to her own comments, was surprised that the course of the match was relatively one-sided. At the same time, she pointed out that she faces demanding matches in the next phase of the tournament and that no opponent will be easy. She described the conditions in Indian Wells as specific. irozhlas.cz ↗

Kostyuk only made it into the main competition after a last-minute change, yet she managed to play the second set against Nosková more evenly. However, the Czech tennis player maintained her lead and finished the match without a deciding set. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗

With the victory, Nosková has created a good starting position in her group. The remaining matches will decide her progress, with Rybakina's original participation no longer having any influence on the tournament. sport.sk ↗
