Linda Noskova looks like the woman to beat at this year’s WTA Finals.
The Czech superstar, who won her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon earlier this year, defeated Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-3 on Tuesday evening.
Noskova performed superbly on her serve, striking nine aces and winning 70 per cent of her first-serve points.
Gauff had only two break-point opportunities on the Noskova serve, both of which were swiftly saved by the 20-year-old.
Gauff, who is now 1-1 at the WTA Finals, called for a rule change in the aftermath of Tuesday’s contest.

“The scenarios, I know they make sense, but they’re kinda stupid. I know it’s like the point thing, all of the sets and all of that,” Gauff told Christian’s Court on Tuesday evening.
“But it’s like I’m just trying to win a match and if I win my match [Thursday] and I still don’t qualify, I’m like, ‘It’s okay, it’s cool.’
“I’m looking forward to next year. I can’t say much, but everybody knows that has to change.”
As things stand, the two players who win the most matches during the round-robin phase advance to the semi-finals.
If match records are tied, players are then ranked based on the amount of sets they have won or lost through their three contests.
If the match records and set records are both equal, players will be separated by the number of games they have won or lost.
