Magda Linette vs Tatjana Maria prediction

Magda Linette will be a strong favourite against Tatjana Maria.

The Pole leads the head-to-head 2-0 and won 7-6 6-3 when they met in Merida back in February.

Maria had been way out of form but has just put together a semi-final run in Rouen that could make her more dangerous than many will consider.

That said, Linette is eyeing a return to the top 50 and with the favourable match-up, should stay perfect against the veteran German.
