Noskova vs Galfi — US Open 1R Preview

WTA US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Linda Noskova (No. 32, age 20)

• 🇨🇿 One of the brightest young talents on tour.
• 📊 2025 record: 27–21 (15–12 on hard).
• 🔥 Highlights: Wimbledon R16 (pushed Anisimova to 3 sets), Prague finalist, SF in Bad Homburg.
• 🏟️ US Open record: 1–3 (best = R2 in 2023).
• 💡 Strengths: Heavy baseline game, aggressive serve + forehand combo.
• ⚠️ Weakness: Still inconsistent in converting QF/SF runs into titles.

Dalma Galfi (No. 99, age 27)

• 🇭🇺 Former top-80 player, back in a Slam main draw after qualifiers.
• 📊 2025 record: 35–18 (5–3 on hard).
• 🔥 Recent: Qualified for US Open with straight-set wins; Wimbledon R3 (beat Haddad Maia, Dart).
• 🏟️ US Open record: Best = R3 in 2022.
• 💡 Strengths: Solid baseline consistency, improved mental toughness in Slams this season.
• ⚠️ Weakness: Heavy schedule (50+ matches in 2025), often fades physically against top-30 opposition.

🔍 Match Breakdown

• H2H: Galfi leads 1–0 (Wimbledon 2023, 1R, in 3 sets).
• Momentum: Noskova enters with confidence after a strong grass swing and deep Prague run; Galfi arrives match-tough from qualies.
• Tactical edge: Noskova’s first-strike power vs Galfi’s rhythm-based defense. Faster hard courts favor Noskova’s aggression.
• Potential wrinkle: Galfi thrives in Slams lately (R3 Wim + qualies momentum). Noskova has shown vulnerability early in majors.

🔮 Prediction

Noskova will be keen to avenge the Wimbledon loss two years ago. Galfi’s confidence from qualifying and Slam runs makes her a tricky opponent, but Noskova’s firepower on hard courts should tilt the match in her favor.

Pick: Noskova in two tight sets — Galfi competes well, but Noskova’s heavier weapons dictate on this surface.
