Petra Kvitova defeated Linda Nosková 6–3, 6–0 in the first round of the Miami Masters 1000 on hard court on 24 March 2023, delivering a dominant display against the Czech teenager. As the pre-match favourite with odds of 1.6 to Nosková's 2.49, Kvitova justified her status with a commanding performance, dropping only three games across two sets. The two-time Grand Slam champion's superior court positioning and experience proved decisive against her compatriot, who struggled to impose herself on serve or from the baseline. Kvitova's comprehensive victory underscored her readiness at a major hard-court event and set up a second-round encounter with a higher-ranked opponent.
