Linette has the experience of beating Fruhvirtova. A year ago, on the hard court in Cleveland, the Polish player won in sets. We think Magda will be stronger today. On her side is not only the experience but also a more confident stride through the tournament net. Linette also has the strength left, considering she played only three games in the semi-finals.
Linette has beaten all her opponents on her way to the final in two sets. The Polish tennis player is now at the peak of her form and is unlikely to allow the young opponent to count on winning a set.
Linette hardly had to struggle in the semi-finals. The match against Katie Swan (0-3, walkover) was over before it had even started.
The British player lost three games in a row and decided to withdraw. Apparently, due to injury.
This week, Magda has not lost a single set so far. Moreover, in the first rounds, she twice took the set with a score of 6-0.
This is the fifth time Linette has reached the final at the WTA level. On four previous occasions, she took two titles.
Magda Linette has won nine of her last ten matches at tournaments in India.
Fruhvirtova, meanwhile, will play in a WTA final for the first time. For a 17-year-old tennis player, this is quite an achievement.
On Saturday, Linda had a strong victory over Nadia Podoroska (5-7, 6-2, 6-4). In both the second set and the decisive one, she lost with a break but eventually got a comeback. At that age, it is almost a heroic achievement.
Remarkably, this is only the eighth time Fruhvirtova has played in the main draw of a WTA tournament.
Thanks to this success, Linda will make her debut in the top 100 next week.
Linda Fruhvirtova has notched up four wins in her last five matches against higher-ranked opponents.
In Linette’s three matches at the tournament in India, less than 9.5 games have been played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.74.
