Noskova to Play First Clay Match of 2023

While Noskova did feature in a clay-court competition on the ITF circuit last month, she is yet to play a clay-court main draw match on the WTA Tour this year.

Overall too, Noskova hasn’t featured in a lot of clay court tennis at the highest level which makes things even more interesting given this has been a season to remember for her.

She was 265th on the WTA charts at one point last season but a strong finish to the previous season and a brilliant start to this one has meant she enters the Italian Open having broken into the top 50 for the first time in her career.

Noskova’s fitness will be tested though, having featured in just one match on clay this year on the ITF circuit and having to retire from that encounter against the 6/1 underdog Margaux Rouvroy.

Can she shrug that off against the world number 38?

Rogers Steady This Season

After back to back first round defeats to kick-start the season, Rogers has shown some sort of consistency. This has allowed her to remain in the top 40 of the WTA Rankings and given her the confidence she needs to win her first ever match in Rome.

Rogers has played four times in this tournament before this, losing in the qualifiers on one occasion and going down in the opening round in the ensuing three editions.

This season, however, Rogers has made a good start on clay.

At the Charleston Open, Rogers overcame fellow Americans Danielle Collins and Caty McNally to enter the third round. This was followed by another third round appearance at the Miami Open where she fell to Irina Camelia Begu.

She starts off a favourite against the returning Noskova.

Noskova v Rogers Prediction and Tip

While the bookmakers have pegged Noskova as a slight favourite at 5/6, we think Rogers has a better chance here given her opponent’s time off because of fitness concerns.

Tips:

  • Low Risk Tip: Two sets in the match: 4/7
  • Moderate Risk Tip: Rogers to win: 10/11

The 2023 WTA Rome Open will be played from May 9 to 21.  You can get all the tennis betting news with our tennis betting blog here. Also get rest of the tennis match previews here.
