Linda Noskova Hails Jessica Pegula After Epic China Open Win

After saving three match points, Noskova edged Pegula in a third-set tiebreak to reach her first WTA 1000 final. “Jessie played incredibly… our best match yet. I was two points away from losing,” she said. At 20 years, 311 days, she’s the youngest Czech finalist at this level, surpassing Petra Kvitova (21y, 55d). She meets Anisimova next for the Beijing crown.
