At this Stage
Freshly minted as a top-ten player — a career-high No. 10 arrived shortly before the tournament — Linda Nosková played a first round that read like someone comfortable with the label. The ninth seed beat Ella Seidel 6-4 6-3, serving eight aces, winning 73 percent of first-serve points and breaking four times; it was her second win over the German, both in straight sets, though their first meeting on grass. Next came Camila Osorio in the last 64, a match since settled in three. First rounds are mostly about avoiding stories, and Nosková avoided all of them.
