After a terrible early-season hard court swing, Linette now has a few months of play on the red dirt coming up – a surface where she hasn’t fared as well in recent years.

She picked up a few wins in Charleston, but that green clay is a far cry from the slower, higher-bouncing stuff they typically play on. Her struggles and the fact she’s probably more comfortable on a hard court have me believing she’s being priced up as too large of a favorite here against Jacquemot. Our Linette vs Jacquemot prediction is for Jacquemot to win.

Magda Linette Recent Form

Before those two wins in Charleston, Linette only managed to win three matches in her first nine tournaments. Without much power, when she starts spraying errors, things can get ugly.

That has happened a bit too much in her matches, but it’s not like she’s been run off the court much either. She’s another player that has lost a slew of three-setters so far in 2024. 70% of her losses have been in a deciding set, with the remaining losses coming via retirement or against top-15 players.

That’s why the market probably still believes in her against someone like Jacquemot, but I think the upstart Frenchwoman’s consistency from the baseline could be tough to hit through without having a reliable weapon.

Elsa Jacquemot Recent Form

The last few years have seen Jacquemot play a lot of tennis on the pro circuit and it has started to pay dividends.

She’s finding more and more success at higher-level ITF events and has started playing a little better away from her preferred clay courts.

Still, she does have some limitations. Her power isn’t the best from the baseline either and she does play a more serve-and-push style. That said, the first serve should play well and she should find a few more cheap points than the Linette on those first deliveries.

She’s managed a dozen wins so far this season, but many of those have come at lower levels of the sport, so it’s tough to use those as a reason she should succeed here.

I simply like her matchup against the Pole, and think there should be plenty of close games, which makes me want to back the higher odds of Jacquemot.

Magda Linette vs Elsa Jacquemot H2H – Stat of the Match

This is the first match between the two. Jacquemot is still making her way up to the main tour and Linette has been an established player at this level for quite some time.

We’ll see how the indoor conditions affect this match. If the tournament plays a bit more quickly, that will be something to consider in the coming days.
