In the first round of the main draw, she faced US Open champion Emma Raducanu and lost despite winning the first set. The following week, she reached the semifinals of the WTA 125 Makarska International Championships.

In July, she won her first $100k title at the Reinert Open defeating Ysaline Bonaventure in the final. Three weeks later, she entered her first WTA Tour semifinal at the Prague Open where she lost to compatriot and later champion, Marie Bouzková. There she marked her first top 50 win, after defeating Alizé Cornet in the second round. This result led her into the top 100 for the first time, at world No. 94, becoming the youngest woman in the top 100, a distinction Coco Gauff previously held since October 2019. By reaching the semifinals, she became the youngest Czech woman to reach a tour-level semifinal since Vaidišová (17 years, 189 days) in Linz in 2006.

At the US Open, she competed in her second Grand Slam qualifying and advanced to the main draw with three qualifying wins. In the second round, she defeated former top-10 player Eugenie Bouchard. However, she lost in the first round of the main draw to Bouzková in a three-set match.

As a result, she moved close to 50 positions up in the rankings to No. 56. Despite being ranked well inside the top 100 by the start of the Australian Open, Nosková needed to play qualifying in order to gain entry to the main draw, due to the sudden nature of her rise up the rankings. However, she lost in the first round of qualifying to world No. 192, Katherine Sebov. Despite this result she reached No. 50 in the rankings on February 6, 2023 becoming the youngest player in the top 50.

She then stunned world No. 1, Iga Świątek, to move to the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career. She became the first teenager to defeat a world No. 1 at this major since 1999, when Amélie Mauresmo shocked Lindsay Davenport. She reached the quarterfinals for the first time after the retirement of 19th seed Elina Svitolina in the fourth round. As a result, she reached the top 30 in the singles rankings.
