Who will win Linette vs Liu?

Magda Linette. Agatha gives Linette a 54% chance to win and predicts a 2-0 win in sets. It is Agatha's prediction for this match, sealed and graded like every pick.

Why Agatha picks Linette

Linette brings the higher ranking, No. 77 to Liu's No. 95, and the sturdier tour-level season, 19-20 on the main tour this year against Liu's 4-6. Liu is 1-3 on hard courts this year, and she lost to Lanlana Tararudee 7-6, 6-4 in the first qualifying round of the Dongfeng Voyah Wuhan Open on Oct 10. Agatha picks Linette to win, a little better than a coin flip, and predicts straight sets. The risk is Linette's slump: she has lost six matches in a row while Liu has won two in a row at the Japan Open.
