Fourth seed Jessica Pegula will take on 31st seed Magda Linette in the third round of the Cincinnati Open. This is their third meeting at a WTA 1000 event. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

Magda Linette is seeking to secure her first victory in this fixture. She has lost all three previous meetings with Pegula. The Pole defeated Rebecca Sramkova in straight sets in the last round.

This improved her to 20-19 as well as nudging her up one place to 39th in the live ranking. Linette, who has registered 13 of her wins on hard courts, has a quarter-final finish in Miami as her best result of the campaign.

Jessica Pegula will arrive confident of winning this tie as she has never lost to Linette. She has defeated her twice at WTA 1000 level, more recently at this year’s Indian Wells tournament.

Another victory will nudge her closer to surpassing last year’s runner-up finish here. The American is having an exceptional year with titles won in Charleston and Bad Homburg. She has also made the championship match in Adelaide and Miami.

The world number four defeated Kimberly Birrell in straight sets in the second round to earn her 37th victory of the year.
