The court conditions traditionally favour players who can control the tempo from the baseline and hold serve consistently. In the match-up between Mirra Andreeva and Magda Linette, the favourite is clear in advance, which makes it straightforward for us to choose a bet.
Mirra Andreeva
Mirra Andreeva is showing a high level of consistency. In main-draw matches she has won 9 of 11, and in her last 10 matches she has recorded eight victories. Six of those wins were by a 2:0 scoreline. The average total in her matches is 19.7 games, which indicates confident control without long sets. In head-to-head meetings with Linette, Andreeva leads 2:1, and their most recent match ended in a straight-sets win for her with a minimum number of games.
Magda Linette
Magda Linette also has a positive record, with seven wins in her last 10 matches, but the structure of these matches is different. Five of those victories came in three sets, which increases the overall total. In her defeats she more often loses in two sets, and against higher-level opponents she finds it difficult to keep the score close. The average total in her matches is 23.3 games, but against top-level players this figure decreases.
Mirra Andreeva vs Magda Linette Prediction
The difference in level and current form is quite clear. Andreeva regularly finishes matches without a deciding set, and the head-to-head meetings with Linette confirm the tendency towards shorter matches. The Polish athlete is capable of putting up resistance in individual games, but she cannot maintain the tempo consistently over the distance. The favourite has every reason to finish this match in two sets with a limited number of games.
