Magda Linette vs Clara Tauson prediction
Magda Linette secured the shock against Ekaterina Alexandrova to set a third career meeting with Clara Tauson.
The Pole triumphed 6-4 4-6 6-1 against the eighth seed to move 5-2 up in their head-to-head.
Tauson remains flawless in the tournament after easing to a 6-2 6-4 victory over Peyton Stearns.
This will be their first meeting on a hardcourt with the Dane triumphing at last year’s French Open before Linette dominated on the grass in Nottingham.
The 12th seed is unlikely to have it all her own way but she is statistically stronger on hard and if she lands her heavy groundstrokes effectively, the deep run she’s been searching for may well materialise.
