Iga Swiatek vs. Magda Linette: Match Preview

The Polish World No.2 Iga Swiatek looked strong in the tournament so far as she cruised past both of her earlier round opponents in straight sets. Though she didn’t look at her best, the tennis was enough to sail her through in straight sets. As she has said after losing the World No. 1 ranking and the US Open crown, she will play with less pressure and is looking forward to the same. It will be interesting to see how well she will play here despite an early exit in the Japan Open days back.

The unseeded Polish Magda Linette qualified for the third round after getting a walkover in the previous round. She started the first round with a huge win over the former World No.1 Victoria Azarenka, that too being one set down initially. Linette is also playing doubles here and is expected to get used to the WTA tour and become the next superstar from Poland.

Iga Swiatek vs. Magda Linette: Match Prediction

As the Polish stars are making their first encounter against each other on the main tour, it will be interesting for their nation as well as for the tennis fans in general. But by the looks of it, Linette will need to play out of her skin to stop the former World No.1 here.
