The Polish tennis player Magda Linette will go head-to-head against Italian superstar Jasmine Paolini in the round of 32 stage in the Paris Olympics. Jasmine will be fighting for her first win over Magda Linette after losing in the first meeting last year.
Magda Linette won in the opening round after beating Mirra Andreeva while Jasmine Paolinia also saw off a challenge from Ana Bogdan in the round of 64.
Magda Linette
Magda Linette hopes to continue in the Paris Olympics as she enters into the second round of the tournament. She will be facing Jasmine Paolini, who has been in very fine form this year. Although Magda Linette had defeated Paolini in their first and only meeting last year, this match still calls for a lot of caution.
Magda Linette had a good win over Mirra Andreeva in the round of 64, beating her in straight sets by a score of 6-3,6-4. In the end, Magda Linette’s stats were: 2 aces, 0 double faults, 72/78 first serve, 1/2 break points saved, 9 service games won, 19/45 first serve return points and 3 break points converted.
Jasmine Paolini
Jasmine Paolini also hopes to keep her place in the Paris Olympics for as long as she can and she can do that by beating Magda Linette in the round of 32. Jasmine Paolini has faced Linette only once and it ended in a defeat, but now she has a chance to redeem herself at a bigger stage.
Jasmine Paolini did not fail to disappoint her fans in the opening round, as she produced a win over Ana Bogdan in straight sets, with the score 5-7,3-6. Hopefully, she can reproduce the same performance against Magda Linette in this match.
