Magda Linette vs Katerina Siniakova prediction

Magda Linette snapped a six-match winless streak at the expense of Claire Liu in Osaka.

The Pole picked up just her second victory in 12 outings with a 6-4 6-3 triumph over the Americanqualififer.

World number 77, Linette will now face Katerina Siniakova for the seventh time after the Czech progressed when second seed Peyton Stearns retired trailing 4-6 6-0 0-4.

The match up is tied at 3-3, but Siniakova has won the last three, including a 6-4 6-3 success in Beijing recently.

All six of their previous meetings have been won in straight sets and we expect the pattern to continue with a similar scoreline in favour of world number 86, Siniakova.
