Experienced Polish player Magda Linette has endured a frustrating year in Grand Slam events in 2025, failing to progress further than the opening round in all three majors. However, at her peak, she does boast some solid form on hard courts after reaching the semi-finals at the Australian Open in 2023.
However, Linette has won just 17% of her matches at the Cincinnati Open, and has only once made it further than the first round in nine efforts. But, she did look to be playing at a high level in the previous round after breezing past Rebecca Sramkova in dominant fashion. But, she will need to raise her game again to overcome Pegula.
Magda Linette vs. Jessica Pegula Picks
Pegula looks very difficult to oppose this weekend after winning all of the previous head-to-head showdowns between these stars. Her prowess on hard courts should ensure that she has what it takes to go far at the Cincinnati Open this month.
