Garbine Muguruza is possibly the most rewarding multiple major winner you can get as an opponent on the WTA tour these days. You still have to beat the Spaniard first. And while Linda Noskova knows how to put big names in their place after her sensational run as a qualifier in the Adelaide 1 final, the young Czech's last match before meeting Muguruza in Lyon was in round one of the Australian Open qualifier yes, shit in your pants.
Not so the start in Lyon. Noskova, 18 years old and currently ranked 56th in the WTA world rankings, won 6: 1 and 6: 4 against Muguruza despite being 3-0 down in the second set and will meet Maya Sherif in the round of 16 Ana Konjuh's task benefited.
Linda Fruhvirtova, who is currently based in Hua Hin in Thailand, is a year younger than Noskova. Fruhvirtova, who climbed up to number 51 in the WTA charts after reaching the round of 16 at the Australian Open, had an easy time with comebacker Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6: 3 and 6: 1. And can compete with Tamara Zidansek in round two.
