Wimbledon Prediction 2026: Marta Kostyuk vs. Linda Noskova Semifinal Best Bets
My Marta Kostyuk vs. Linda Noskova prediction in the Wimbledon semifinal backs the latter, thanks to her indomitable form on grass entering Thursday's final four clash (9:40 a.m. ET, ESPN).
As is the case in the other semifinal, neither player has advanced to a Wimbledon final. But what makes this one different is that both individuals are looking for their first major final appearance. Kostyuk is the -128 betting favorite, but I'm backing Noskova, as she has been exquisite on grass this season and last.

🆚 Marta Kostyuk vs. Linda Noskova pick to win
Here's my pick to win the Wimbledon women's semifinal, and why I'm choosing Noskova:
Linda Noskova ML (+105)
Had this match been planned for any other surface, I'd be backing Kostyuk. However, Noskova has been the best player on grass on the women's side for the last two seasons. She won the warmup tournament in Berlin, losing just one set en route to victory over Jessica Pegula in the final.
At Wimbledon, Noskova has relied on her sensational serve to dispatch each opponent, increasing her second-serve win rate to 60.1%. She's also won 18 matches on grass since the start of last season, the most on the women's circuit.
Her service efficiency will put too much pressure on Kostyuk's serve, which is prone to inconsistency.
🔥 Best Marta Kostyuk vs. Linda Noskova prop pick
Over 22.5 games (-118)
Kostyuk is playing too well to go silently into the Wimbledon night. She advanced to her first grand slam semifinal in Paris, losing to Mirra Andreeva.
Kostyuk has only lost one set thus far at Wimbledon, and that was in the second round. While I expect Noskova to pull off the minor upset, it won't be easy, with Kostyuk winning 21 of her previous 22 matches.
Their only previous meeting saw Kostyuk win in straight sets, but that was on clay, and the first set went to a tiebreak.
