Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the WTA Bad Homburg match.
Mirra Andreeva has shown impressive form this season, already adding several trophies to her name. With Wimbledon on the horizon, she appears well-positioned to claim yet another title. Her route to the semi-finals in Bad Homburg goes through Linda Noskova, whom she has already defeated multiple times this year.
Mirra Andreeva
Ranked No. 7 in the WTA standings, Mirra Andreeva has demonstrated a composed and consistent game throughout the year. She has already recorded two straight-set wins over Linda Noskova in 2024. Against players ranked outside the top 20, she has won seven of her last nine matches. In her Bad Homburg opener, she defeated Clara Tauson (No. 23), converting four break points and surrendering her serve just once.
Linda Noskova
Currently ranked No. 30, Linda Noskova has won four of her five matches on grass this season. However, the level of opposition has not been particularly strong — only two of her opponents were ranked inside the top 40, including Donna Vekić, while the rest were outside the top 50. In Bad Homburg, she has already racked up nine double faults across two matches. Over the past three months, she has managed to string together back-to-back wins on just two occasions.
Mirra Andreeva vs Linda Noskova Prediction
These players have met four times previously, with Mirra Andreeva winning three of those contests — all in straight sets. Given Linda Noskova’s ongoing difficulties against higher-ranked opponents, we expect Mirra Andreeva to seal another straight-sets victory.
