Clara Tauson vs Linda Noskova WTA Australian Open Prediction: A Dane on the Rise

• Prediction: Clara Tauson to Win
• Best Odds: -110
• Bookmaker: Pinnacle
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds as of 7:00 am UK Time on January 11, 2024. Odds may now differ.

Clara Tauson has been known for disappointing efforts suffering surprising losses all too often in her career. Building confidence for the lengthy Dane to win has been difficult to maintain but the run to the title in Auckland last week can start the positive mindset.

With a coinflip decision to make on this first-round affair at the Australian Open, I cannot help but invest in the Denmark native to build on the win at Auckland. Even though Naomi Osaka couldn’t finish the final match, a third tourney win on the WTA Tour has Tauson in a better frame of mind than Noskova.

Noskova essentially ended her 2024 campaign at the US Open with one appearance at the Billie Jean Cup last November to put a stamp on the season.

The Czech Republic native looked flat against Mirra Andreeva at Brisbane losing in straight sets to open the 2025 campaign. The straight-sets loss to Maria Sakkari at Adelaide was a bigger disappointment for Noskova who has no confidence entering the first Major Tournament of 2025. 

With Tauson coming off of the Title run at Auckland, I have more confidence in the Dane to be playing in the second round. Heads I take Tauson and my coin lands on heads so let it be, HA!

I am kidding, but with an even offer on either Tauson or Noskova, I will put my cash on Tauson to advance and build on the Auckland run with the marginal -110 offer.

CLARA TAUSON RECENT FORM

Clara Tauson finished the 2024 campaign alternating wins and losses over the last 7 outings. Tauson wrapped up the season at the Billie Jean King Cup leaving her with a 38 – 28 record in 2024.

The Dane knows how to win on this stage as proven in the 2019 run to the Girls’ title ranked #1 before turning pro. Tauson enters the week ranked 41st on the WTA Tour with her best rank reaching 33rd in 2022.

Tauson has eight ITF/Challenger titles with three WTA tourney wins and is still only 22 years old.

LINDA NOSKOVA RECENT FORM

Linda Noskova is ranked 30th entering the Australian Open and the Czech Republic native completed a fourth straight season with a winning record in 2024.

Noskova produced a 19 – 8 hardcourt record in 2024 reaching 26th in the WTA Rankings and is only 1 – 2 this year to open the 2025 campaign.

The Czech native could only muster up one win against 110th-ranked Anca Todoni before getting ousted at Brisbane against Mirra Andreeva to open the season. Sakkari left Noskova with a loss at 3 and 3 in Adelaide and the 29-seed isn’t even favored in the first round.

TAUSON VS NOSKOVA HTH –  STAT OF THE MATCH

Tauson and Noskova will meet for the first time today in the first round of the Australian Open.

The winner of this match will face either Bernarda Pera or Tatjana Maria in the second round.
