Sonay Kartal vs Magda Linette prediction
Sonay Kartal arrives in Qatar buoyed by a run to the last eight in Abu Dhabi.
The Brit comes up against a revitalised Magda Linette, who has kicked off the new season with some solid results.
The Pole ended 2025 with six straight defeats but has a 6-3 record since the turn of the year and will have expectations of defeating a player 22 places below her in the rankings.
Kartal ran out of steam in Abu Dahbi against an inspired Sara Bejlek, but is known for her fight and there’s scope to fancy this match to be a lengthy tussle with a decent market for over 22.5 games or a deciding set.
Sonay Kartal vs Magda Linette tip: Over 2.5 sets
