There is a significant gap between the Top 5 and the rest of the Top 20," states Noskova

Linda Noskova had an excellent week at the WTA 1000 in Beijing by reaching the final. In the next WTA rankings, the Czech will be positioned at 17th place in the world.

However, according to her, she still has a long way to go if she wants to be among the top 5 in the world. In a press conference after her loss to Amanda Anisimova, she stated: "I still have a lot of room for improvement.

One might think that I am an excellent athlete simply because I am in the Top 20, but that is not the case. I see a significant gap between the world's Top 5 and the rest of the Top 20.
