Linda Noskova trolled by horrible comments about late mother on Mother's Day after Rome Open loss
WTA
Linda Noskova is out of the Rome Open after being seen off by Mirra Andreeva 6-1, 7-5 in the Last 32. But she shared that she was the target again of trolls after being defeated by the Russian on a day that will be hard enough for her.
Noskova lost her mother in 2024 after a battle with cancer and she has still managed to compete at the highest level despite what is a heartbreaking event. She has previously been open about the trolls who have targeted her mainly after losing a bet in the past.
But she wrote a statement on her Instagram story saying that this time that the comments directed her mentioned in some cases her late mother on Mother's Day which was on Sunday 11 May in most countries.
“To everyone who mentioned my mom after my loss, especially on this Mother’s Day: I truly hope you find compassion in your heart one day,” Noskova wrote on her Instagram story.
The 20-year-old's mother passed away on Sunday June 30 a day before the start of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. She still managed to play despite this and didn't withdraw.
She lost in both ladies singles and doubles at the tournament. She registered a straight sets win over Sara Errani and then was defeated by Bianca Andreescu who cut short her singles campaign at SW19. She then teamed up with Rebeka Masarova losing to Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova.
Ivana, her mother had previously said in an interview before she passed that she couldn't make it to the Australian Open even if she made the final. That year she reached the Quarter-Finals in her best ever Grand Slam finish. Despite all of the trolls, Noskova has managed to push through adversity and no doubt will use this as fuel for further success.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
