World No. 185 Noskova will be the youngest Czech woman to play a Grand Slam main-draw since a 17-year-old Nicole Vaidisova at the 2006 US Open.



It's been a breakout season for Noskova, who ended 2021 ranked No. 317. Though Noskova has yet to win her first WTA Tour main-draw match, she's already captured five titles on the ITF World Tennis Tour, including a couple of W60 ITF championships last month.
