Our Lilli Tagger vs Magda Linette Prediction
Key Stats: Magda Linette landed 65.2 percent of her first serves and won a staggering 82 percent of first-serve points.
What to Expect: Linette may not beat Tagger in this match, but she can really give the Australian rising star a run for her money if she can replicate her fantastic serving from the first round.
Linette fired 18 aces and won 82.2 percent of the first serves against Zakharova. She might never produce these kinds of numbers, but another decent day on serve will definitely bolster her chances against Tagger, who hasn’t established the level of consistency that elite-level players have.
Backing Linette to win at least a set is worth a gamble at -125 against a still inexperienced Tagger.
Fearless Forecast: Lilli Tagger 5-7, 7-5, 7-5
Our betting prediction for Lilli Tagger vs. Magda Linette: Magda Linette +1.5 Sets
