Shuai Zhang vs Linda Noskova 2026 Stuttgart Round 1 WTA Match Highlights

Covered it nicely, caught the lower part of the net, was the only place that Noskoba could go. Zeynep Sonmez, congratulations to the player from Turkey. A little unlucky, caught part of the WTA tour. I'll play the racket a little quicker here. Yeah nice, back behind, nicely done. ...to Stuttgart, made a debut back in 2012. Oh it's a fabulous backhand win, well picked off. Maybe another love here. It certainly is and few rallies are lasting more than... Second serve on break point. It's beautiful from Jung Shuai who makes the first break. But an ace down the team seals the set in style for Jung Shuai and the evergreen Chinese player takes one step into the second round. A first ever win at Stuttgart but still work to do. A 35-minute set concludes. Decent background, just softened up a bit. One in the third game that I've missed earlier. Just to wrap it up it's another ace and she takes that second set and she did lose just two points on serve and just 10 points lost on serve in the match from the world number 14. Linda Noskoba looking good now after losing that edgy first set. We're heading into a third in rasping return again and quiet in. I was just going to try and half volley it back if it did. But taken to juice she will be after another forehand winner. Graphics on the big screen we're getting here, so many close calls. Oh beautiful again, what another fabulous winner and finishes it with another one. Remarkable three-setter that almost went the distance and lasted just 102 minutes. Big hitters to the fore here and none bigger today than Linda Noskoba from a set down she puts out veteran Jung Shuai. The 21-year-old from Czechia winning 6-4 in the third. Well I'll tell you what, she's going to be a real handful for anyone in this tournament playing like that.
