American WTA star Coco Gauff is into the quarterfinals of the Wuhan Open. After clinching the title in Beijing, Gauff eased past her opponents in the first two matches of the WTA 1000 tournament in Wuhan. She is now set to face Poland’s Magda Linette for a place in the semifinals.
While Gauff defeated Marta Kostyuk in the third round, Linette upset Daria Kasatkina to book herself a match against the World No. 6. The Pole has bettered her performance from the China Open, where she suffered a fourth-round exit. Now, the World No. 45 stands a chance to make it to her first semifinal of a Masters tournament this season.

Coco Gauff vs. Magda Linette: Match Preview
Coco Gauff and Magda Linette have been clinical so far at the WTA 1000 tournament. While Gauff got a bye in the first round, Linette upset 11th seed Liudmila Samsonova, beating her 6-2, 6-2. In the second round, the Pole was leading in the first set 5-2 before Lesia Tuserenko decided to retire.

In the third round, Linette was pitted against eighth seed Daria Kasatkina and it seemed like a tough challenge for her. However, the Prague Open champion did not break a sweat, sweeping her opponent 6-2, 6-3 in 72 minutes on Thursday, earning the 14th Top 20 win of her career and making her first career WTA 1000 quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Gauff, fresh from her title win in Beijing, required minimal effort to dismiss her second-round opponent Viktoriya Tomova 6-1, 6-2. The 2023 US Open champion continued the momentum in the third round, defeating Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 6-1. The 2024 Roland Garros semifinalist now has Linette standing in her way.
Coco Gauff vs. Magda Linette: Match Prediction
Coco Gauff is among the top players on the tour and barring a couple of subpar performances by her high standards, the American has had a good 2024 season. The win in Beijing might have brought back the lost confidence due to the disappointment she faced at the US Open.

For Linette, she is still working her way up. Having pulled off two upsets in the first three matches, the Polish ace must be feeling the adrenaline rush. However, taking down a player like Gauff would be a much more difficult task. The head-to-head record is also skewed in Gauff’s favor (1-0).
When the two players met last time, at the 2021 US Open, Gauff came from a set down to beat Linette 5-7, 6-3, 6-4. The American ace has only got better since that match and thus, is expected to take down her quarterfinal opponent in straight sets.
Match Prediction: Coco Gauff to win in straight sets.
