Magda Linette vs Ashlyn Krueger prediction
Magda Linette has been consistent so far this season, but is yet to make a truly deep run at any event in 2026. There have been two third-round appearances in Melbourne and Dubai for the Pole, though she could only make round two in Merida last week after a defeat to Victoria Jimenez Kasinsteva. Linette took the first set and was on course for victory, but let her advantage slip in sets two and three.
She faces Ashlyn Krueger at Indian Wells. The young American heads into this event on the back of her best showing of the season so far. Krueger had lost her last three matches prior to the ATX Open, but was able to win three matches on the spin without dropping a set en route to the semi-finals. Krueger was defeated by Taylor Townsend in the last four.
That run will improve Krueger’s confidence, but Linette has managed to avoid an early exit at any tournament so far this season. This has the makings of a close match.
