Linette vs Alexandrova: prediction for the Australian Open match

Magda Linette reached the third round of Australian Open only once in her career. It happened in 2018. Polish player has already repeated that result and will look on to improve it. 

In the first round Magda easily beat Sherif (7:5, 6:1). No one expected any other result. But in the second round Polish player put up a huge sensation. World No. 45 player eliminated Anett Kontaveit (3:6, 6:3, 6:4) out of the tournament. 

Ekaterina Alexandrova managed to reach the third round of Australian Open twice in her career. But Russian player failed to get any further. 

Ekaterina crushed Bonaventure (6:2, 6:1) at the start of Australian Open. But in the second round, Alexandrova needed three sets to beat lower-ranked Townsend (1:6, 6:2, 6:3).
