Noskova L. vs Ruse G.

Published reasoning

Estimated probability: 79%. Noskova took sets in seven of nine comparable hard-court matches, including wins over Kostyuk, Li and Tararudee and a three-set loss to Sabalenka in September. Her rank of 6 and current wins over strong opposition support the set market. Comparable counts use supplied completed hard best-of-three results from 19 July to 2 October, excluding incomplete scores. Main risk: Ruse took sets in six of eight comparable completed matches and just beat Tagger 2-0. Ruse won their June grass H2H; Noskova lost 0-2 to Anisimova and McNally. Unknown-surface late-September results and Ruse's incomplete Eala result are excluded; model quality is low.
