Adelaide finalist Linda Noskova who earned some incredible wins in the past week got dumped out immediately out of the Australian Open qualifiers.
The Czech player was heavily favoured to win this match and continue her journey towards the grand slam but it wasn't meant to be as she suffered a shock defeat to Sebov from the US. Noskova played a superb week of tennis as she defeated some notable players but ultimately she paid the price for it.
Looking very sluggish and tired, she was unable to outlast Sebov who found a way to win the match. It was a disappointing result but she's close to breaking into the top 50 and she'll certainly get that very soon. The season is long and she can improve even further, especially when it's time for the clay season.
