WTA Miami: Gauff C. vs. Linette M. - Match Preview & Prediction

Coco Gauff

Background:Coco Gauff has knocked out a couple of former top-10 players to equal her best Miami Open result. She brushed off Maria Sakkari, 6-2, 6-4, to reach the fourth round of the tournament for the third time in her career (2022, 2024).

Recent Form: The former US Open champion had sustained some setbacks in the lead-up to this fortnight, including failing to win a match during the entire Middle East swing.

Magda Linette

Background:Magda Linette ended the run of qualifier Linda Fruhvirtova, 7-5, 6-4, maintaining a theme where she has won all three rounds in straight sets but with a struggle in the first set.

Recent Form: This is the first time she has won three completed matches in a row since lifting the clay-court title in Prague in late July 2024.

Strengths & Concerns: Like the American, she has also matched her best Miami Open result, with the performance in 2023 when she lost to American Jessica Pegula, 6-1, 7-5, at this stage.

Head-to-Head

Coco Gauff leads 2-0. This is going to be their third encounter in a hard-court event.

Key Considerations

• Confidence: The energy for Coco will prove her a victory.
