The WTA Finals bring Marta Kostyuk and Linda Noskova together at Stadium 2 in Indian Wells on November 8, and recent history leans toward the player who won their last meeting. Noskova took that September clash 2-1, and both arrive off defeats: Kostyuk fell 1-2 to Maria Sakkari in October, while Noskova was beaten 0-2 by Ekaterina Alexandrova.

Last 3 meetings: Marta Kostyuk 1W, 0D, Linda Noskova 2W.

The form lines tell the story. Kostyuk's last three read L-L-W, the lone win a 2-0 dismissal of Alexandrova in early September. Noskova sits at L-W-W, having swept Viktorija Golubić and Elena-Gabriela Ruse before the Alexandrova setback. The 2026 series splits Noskova's way: a 2-0 win in July and the 2-1 September rematch either side of Kostyuk's 2-0 triumph in April.

Watchlist
  • Whether Kostyuk can halt a two-match skid, her last win the 2-0 defeat of Alexandrova in September.
  • How Noskova responds to the 0-2 loss to Alexandrova that followed straight-set wins over Golubić and Ruse.
  • Whether Kostyuk can flip a head-to-head that has gone Noskova's way in two of the last three meetings.
