Katerina Siniakova vs Magda Linette Prediction: A Coin Flip Decision

• Prediction: Magda Linette Moneyline
• Best Odds: -105
• Bookmaker: bet365
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds updated at 7:00 am UK Time on October 14, 2024. 

My coin landed on heads because I’ll take Linette to advance to the second round where Emma Navarro awaits the winner of this affair.

Siniakova is holding on to the 37th ranking on the WTA Tour but the Czech native hasn’t been able to get past the first round in all but one of the last nine events. Katerina has a 2 – 5 record over seven outings with wins over Eala and Rodionova accounting for the two victories. 

I don’t know what happened in Berlin when Siniakova took down Qinwen Zheng and Emma Navarro in back-to-back outings but Siniakova has been taking losses that should be wins. Not staying consistent has been the issue for Siniakova all season and this might not be the best moment to land Magda Linette.

Linette is 5 – 2 in her last seven matches, with wins over 7th-ranked Jasmine Paolini and 11th-ranked Daris Kasatkina in the mix. The loss to Coco Gauff to end her run in Wuhan was disappointing, but after losing that first set 6 – 0, the Polska native showed some moxy and pushed Coco to 6 – 4 before packing her bags. 

I have more confidence in Magda’s game right now than with Siniakova and a -105 offer on the Polska native to advance in this WTA500 event at the Ningbo Open.

KATERINA SINIAKOVA RECENT FORM

Siniakova is 6 – 9 in the last 15 contests but put up a great effort against Sabalenka in Wuhan despite the straight-sets defeat at 4 and 4. 

Katerina has produced a winning record on grass and clay but is 15 – 15 on hard courts this campaign. At 31 – 23 in 2024, Sinialova is headed toward a fifth consecutive campaign with a winning record.

MAGDA LINETTE RECENT FORM

Linette is 14 – 7 over the last 21 outings including a run to the Prague Challenger title on clay.

Magda only has a winning record on clay this season (16 – 7) and is 11 – 15 on hard courts in 2024. At 30 – 25, Linette is trying to shake off a 27 – 29 campaign in 2023.  

SINIAKOVA VS LINETTE H2H –  STAT OF THE MATCH

Magda Linette is 3 – 1 in 4 meetings with Katerina Siniakova.

Linette won the first three affairs in the series before Siniakova won the last encounter in Grodzisk, Poland.

The two first met in 2012 at the Prague Challenger and Linette didn’t face Siniakova again until the 2017 campaign. In September 2017, Linette won their battle in Wuhan and they met again in 2019 at an event in New York which Linette won in straight sets.
