Magda Linette She is the 34th player of the world ranking of tennis players, and Anastasija Pawluczenkowa takes 47 on this list. One and a half months ago Shelf She defeated the Russian in Abu Dhabi. But despite everything, Linette was the favorite of the match in Miami.
Over the years Linette – born in 1992 – and Pawluczenkowa – born in 1991 – fought five matches, from which the Russian won three. But only in recent months and weeks the Polish woman won her first wins in her career. Pawluczenk, based on high physical strength, over the years loses this advantage, but it can still be dangerous to everyone. In this year's Australian Open, Aryna Sabalenka prayed, fighting her in the quarter -finals. Really! – I play this match all the time and it drives me crazy. I led twice in the third set with a predominance [1:0 i serwowała, 2:1 i serwowała] – said after Pawluczenkowa's defeat cited by Sports.ru. “To be honest, I just prayed then,” Sabalenek told about doing homework. She played amazing. I am very happy that I managed to win this match – she added.
This recent Australian Open Pawluczenkowa quarter -finals shows that she can still afford great things. For a 34-year-old Russian, it was the seventh Grand Slam quarter-finals in his career. And Linette only played one – when in 2023 she reached nipine Australian Open.
Magda did not refer to that great performance this year in Melbourne. In general, the beginning of the season is medium successful. She dropped out of the Australian Open in the first round, in total seven of 15 matches, which she played this year, won the clash with Pawluczenkowa in Miami. Once again – Linette was not a favorite. So why did she win? Because she was very regular, even more brave and absolutely tenacious. What wouldn't happen. And a lot was happening.
Linette persistent. The sixth setbol decided
The first set itself lasted 72 minutes. Linette unexpectedly broke Pawluczenkowa in the first game, and later the Russian chased, but she couldn't catch up. Finally she did it at the last moment. At 5: 4 for Linette and the polka service, the Russian woman defended three setboles and finally used the sixth Breakpoint in this game. She had 10 in the whole set and only the latter brought her success. Then it seemed that Pawluczenkowa would take control of the match. But Linette did not allow it. From the state of 5: 6 it led to a tie-break, and in it she used the sixth set-she won it 7-3. In the second game she followed the blow. She showed a great mental and good tennisand very good physical preparation.
One and a half a month ago, in the fight for the quarter -finals in Abu Dłuci Pawluczenkowa won with Linette the first batch 7: 5, and in the second she lost 1: 4 when she asked for a medical break. They were measured then the pressure and immediately after the measurement, the Russian gave up the match. Since then, she has only played once – in Dubai with her countryman, Samsonowa. She lost, during the match she also took a medical break. And she disappeared. She explained that she was still struggling with a viral infection, which she brought from Australia.
In Miami, after a month break from playing during the second set of the match against Linette Pawluczenkowa, she applied ice to her nose. This was noticed by Dawid Celt, who commented on the meeting at Canal+ Sport. Probably the Russian blood was flying from fatigue. Linette finished this start using the second matchbole, at the Russian service. 7: 6, 6: 2 is a well -deserved victory for simply better Polish women in every respect. Now, in the second round of “Tysięcznik” in Miami Linette will play with another Russian, Jekatierina Aleksandrowa.
