Polish tennis sensation Magda Linette is on a roll in Miami, having secured four consecutive wins in the tournament so far. Her latest victory over Coco Gauff, the third-ranked player in the world, has sent shockwaves throughout the tennis community. In a thrilling match that lasted just over an hour and a half, Linette emerged victorious, winning 6:4, 6:4.
This win has set her up for a quarterfinal clash with Jasmine Paolini, the seventh-ranked player in the WTA rankings. Paolini recently defeated former world number one Naomi Osaka 3:6, 6:4, 6:4, showcasing her impressive form. Linette, however, remains confident, having a favorable head-to-head record against Paolini. In their three previous encounters, Linette has come out on top twice.
When asked about her upcoming match, Linette acknowledged the challenge that lies ahead. „Oh, another very tough match. Honestly, there are no easy matches with her, and I’m ready for a big challenge,” she said. Linette’s previous match against Paolini in the Olympic tournament in Paris was a closely contested affair, with Paolini ultimately emerging victorious 6:4, 6:1. However, Linette exacted revenge just two months later in Beijing, winning 6:4, 6:0.
Linette’s recent form has been impressive, with her aggressive playing style and determination proving to be a winning formula. According to WTA statistics, Linette has won 75% of her service games and 53% of her return games in the tournament so far. These numbers indicate that she is not only serving well but also returning effectively, making her a formidable opponent.
The highly anticipated quarterfinal match between Linette and Paolini is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, March 25, at 17:00 Polish time. The match will be broadcast live on Sport.pl and the Sport.pl LIVE mobile app, allowing Polish fans to cheer on their homegrown talent at a convenient time.
