Lys and Noskova Battle in Wimbledon Second Round Showdown

London, England – The second round of Wimbledon in 2025 features a compelling match between German player Eva Lys and Czech player Linda Noskova. Scheduled for Wednesday at 11:25 AM ET, this matchup is eagerly anticipated as both players look to advance further in the prestigious tournament.
Eva Lys, who has yet to win a tour-level match on grass, surprised many by reaching this stage after defeating Yue Yuan in her first-round match with a score of 6-4, 5-7, 6-2. This victory marked Lys’s first successful encounter at Wimbledon and her third win in opening rounds of Grand Slam events this season.
On the other hand, Linda Noskova is entering this match in strong form after a convincing first-round victory over Bernarda Pera, winning 6-2, 6-4. Noskova did not lose her serve in that match and aims to build on her recent success, which includes a semifinal appearance at the Bad Homburg Open.
This will be their first encounter on grass, although Noskova previously defeated Lys in their only meeting at the Prague Open last year when Lys had to retire early in the second set.
As the match approaches, predictions favor Noskova significantly. Dimers data analyst Greg Butyn stated, “With numerous simulations, we estimate Linda Noskova’s chance of winning at 84%, with Eva Lys at 16%.” This high probability reflects Noskova’s recent performances and her ability to maintain pressure throughout matches.
For fans wishing to watch, the match can be viewed on BBC channels in the UK or on ESPN in the US. Online streaming options include BBC iPlayer and ESPN’s digital platforms.
As the atmosphere builds at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, both players will be looking to seize this pivotal moment in their careers. Whether Lys can pull off an upset or if Noskova will continue her winning streak remains to be seen.
