THE PREDICTION
World number 20 Magda Linette came back from a set down to beat Jasmine Paolini on Monday but the Pole has failed to win back-to-back matches on tour since making the round of 16 at the Miami Open in March. The 31-year-old has struggled to rediscover the intensity that saw her make a surprise semi-final at the Australian Open back in January but she should enjoy a return to hardcourts later this season if she cannot improve on grass. World number 39 Lin Zhu also enjoyed a career-best run in Melbourne, reaching the round of 16 before an exit to Victoria Azarenka, and she too endured more of a reality check across the clay swing. The 29-year-old stunned Nottingham Open champion Katie Boulter on Tuesday to make back-to-back round of 16s on grass and it would not be a huge shock to see her cause another upset here. Back Linette to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
