LiontipsKarolina Pliskova vs Magda Linette. Prediction and Betting Tips for Australian Open
Command Analysis
Since the start of a new season, Karolina Pliskova is coached by Sascha Bajin again. Czech player failed to impress in pre-Slam tournaments, but managed to improve her level of play at Melbourne and now she is in a quarter-final.
Karolina got lucky with a draw, but it still takes much skill to win all matches in straight sets. Only Putintseva managed to put up a good fight in the second set (6:0, 7:5). In the most recent match Pliskova secured an easy victory over experienced Zhang Shuai (6:0, 6:4).
