Nosková garnered much praise for her performance, which is at least a small consolation for her elimination. Even the strict coach Tomáš Krupa, who used to write for example Tomáš Berdych, appreciated the performance of his trustee. “But now no one can bring me anything from heaven to make me laugh or feel better. But it was definitely a great match and I definitely enjoyed it,” Noskova said.

She played an even match with last year’s US Open winner. She took the first set in a tie break and in the second she got a break for 4: 3, which she did not keep. “At 5: 6 I made a few unforced mistakes. I went into it, I took unnecessary risks and it probably lost me the whole match,” she thought.

She has only played one game in the decisive third set, but the games were even in the 1: 4 situation. “She took care of it and in the end it was hard physically, but I didn’t give up,” she assured. In the match, she had a ratio of winning balls and errors of 48:54, which confirms her playing style. She likes to dictate tempo and play aggressively. “And I won’t change my game extra,” she said. “I hope I keep it until the end of my career. That’s probably my biggest plus. If I played scared and thought about the score, I probably wouldn’t play the way I play.”
