Donna Vekic vs Linda Noskova WTA Qatar Open Prediction: We’re Going the Distance

• Prediction: Match Total Over 2.5 Sets
• Best Odds: +150
• Bookmaker: Pinnacle
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds as of 7:00 am UK Time on February 10, 2025. Odds may now differ.

Donna Vekic won three outings at the Australian Open and they account for the only victories in 2025. Linda Noskova won three matches in Abu Dhabi and that almost covers the victories in her 2025 campaign.

The line setters have enough faith in the 39th-ranked Czech Republic native to be favored at -175 after the effort to the semifinals in Abu Dhabi but what about the loss to Ashlyn Krueger?

As a -190 favorite, Noskova didn’t win a set against Krueger in the semifinals at Abu Dhabi and now the 19th-ranked Croatian native hasn’t played since the Australian Open.

The United Cup appearance was a disaster for Vekic and it was followed by the loss at Adelaide against Putintseva to start the WTA season. 

BetMGM is posting -150 odds for Vekic to win a set in this opening-round affair against Noskova. How about the -450 odds on Noskova to win a set? 

This match will need three sets to find a winner and the +150 odds give us plenty of value on the return. 

Vekic is ranked 19th and one thing she has never enjoyed is success in Doha. The Croatian native has never progressed past the second round since her first appearance at the 2016 Qatar Open..

Vekic can overachieve and win this match against the 20-year-old Czech native but we’re going the distance regardless!
