 Linda Noscopa vs. Diana Yastremska is the third quarter final for the Ladies Australia Unopened for 2023. And both players were not expected to come to this stage. Yastremska entered the tournament as a qualifier and will take on the number 7 seed Vondrusava. But after winning the first set easily, she would go on to destroy the Wimbledon Champion 6-1-6-2. In the second round she would take on Gracheva and again would win easily 6-3-6-2. In the third round she would take on the 27th seed Navarro. And after dropping the second set, she would run away with the third 6-2-2-6-6-1. In the fourth round she would take on the 18th seed Azarenka. And after a very close first set, she would fight back to win in the second 7-6-6-4 to make it to the quarter finals. Was Cobra entered the tournament? Unceded and will take on the 31st seed Buscobra in the first round. There's no problem getting through in straights. 6-1-7-5. In the second round she would take on the wild card Kessler. And after dropping the second set, she would fight back to win 6-3-1-6-6-4. In the third round she would take on the world number 1 Ikesh Fjontek, who had just battled past Daniel Collins. And after dropping the first set, Noskova would serve her way out of it, 3-6-6-3-6-4. In the fourth round she would take on the number 19 seed Fetalina. And after a three-love lead, Fetalina would be forced to retire with injury, allowing Noskova to her first Grand Slam quarter-final. These two have never actually played before, and that's because Noskova is very new to the tour, and has only been around the last couple of years in Yostremska. Her best years have sort of before Noskova came onto the tour, so this is the first time we're going to see these two in action against each other. If Yostremska is going to win this one, she's going to keep that energy up. She also needs to kind of, I guess, push Noskova around. She kind of got a little lucky against Azarenka. Azarenka didn't play super great in that last match, and Azarenka gave a lot of leads away. Noskova's going to win. She needs to serve well. She serves so well against Ikesh Fjontek in that third round. She needs to do that again if she's going to be any chance of beating this player and making it to the semifinal. What a random matchup! Who would have thought this at the start of the week was going to be a quarter-final, especially with Fjontek around? I'm going to go with Noskova to win. I just think that it's time for someone young to get to a semifinal. She's been really good the last year or so, or at least she's been around the last year or so, and she was such a good junior, it'd be cool to see her new face making a semi, but let me know down in the comments below who's going to win.
