Magda Linette vs Kimberly Birrell prediction
Magda Linette defeated Tereza Valentova and Jelena Ostapenko to reach the third-round of Roland Garros. She was then beaten by compatriot and six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek. Linette’s best form occurred at the start of the year as she reached the quarter-finals in Auckland and Hobart. Nevertheless, that run to round three in Paris matched her best ever result at the major.
She begins her grass court season at the Libema Open, and she takes on Kimberly Birrell in the first-round. The Australian pulled off a huge shock in the first-round of Roland Garros as she came from a set down to beat Jessica Pegula, but she then lost her next match against Oleksandra Oliynykova. That was her only victory on clay this season, as she lost in the opening round of her other events.
Neither player has the best record on grass, but the higher-ranked Linette will be viewed as the favourite to advance to the next round of the tournament.
