Mirra Andreeva, Victoria Mboko and Alexandra Eala currently represent some of the best young talents on the WTA Tour.
Andreeva and Mboko have already secured WTA 1000 titles, while Eala has climbed into the world’s top 30 players following impressive wins against Jasmine Paolini and Coco Gauff.
Eva Lys and Iva Jovic are also impressive talents; as is Talia Gibson, who could become the next Australian star on the WTA Tour.
Who has impressed you the most?
One player who often gets left out of these conversations is Linda Noskova, despite her standing as a top-15 player on the WTA Tour.
Linda Noskova is the most underrated player on the WTA Tour
Despite being only 21 years old, Linda Noskova has already proven herself to be a premier talent on the WTA Tour.
The former French Open junior champion already has one WTA Tour title to her name [2024 Monterrey Open] and reached her first WTA 1000 final at the 2025 China Open, before losing to Amanda Anisimova.
The Czech star also has a winning record against many of her young peers, including against Alex Eala, Eva Lys and Maya Joint.
Yet, it seems the Czech star garners much less praise for her play than her peers.
The 21-year-old is a supreme talent, who has proven time and again over the past two years that she is capable of making deep runs at big events.
She demonstrated this in 2024 when she reached the Australian Open quarter-finals before losing to qualifier Dayana Yastremska.
Linda Noskova’s record vs young WTA stars
| Opponent | Record |
| Mirra Andreeva | 2-4 |
| Alexandra Eala | 1-0 |
| Iva Jovic | 0-1 |
| Victoria Mboko | YET TO PLAY |
| Eva Lys | 4-0 |
| Maya Joint | 1-0 |
Most recently, Noskova demonstrated her talent by reaching the Indian Wells semi-finals.
The Czech star defeated Alex Eala and Talia Gibson on her way to the last four, before losing to world number one Aryna Sabalenka.
This week, Noskova lost her opening Miami Open singles match to Sorana Cirstea, 2-6, 6-3, 4-6.
Where next for Linda Noskova?
After losing in Miami, Noskova has chosen to take a few weeks off before returning to competitive play at the Stuttgart Open.
During the same week last year, Noskova took part in the Rouen Open in France.
After defeating Bernada Pera, second-seeded Noskova was defeated by Suzanne Lamens in the round of 16.

As a result, Noskova will defend 30 WTA points when she takes part in the Stuttgart Open this year.
Jelena Ostapenko is the defending Stuttgart champion, and she has returned for the 2026 event.
Mirra Andreeva, Leylah Fernandez, Coco Gauff, Barbora Krejcikova and Karolina Muchova are all set to join Ostapenko on the German clay courts.
