Alexandra Eala of the Philippines is a -210 favorite ahead of her third career showdown with Magda Linette of Poland in the quarterfinals of the 2025 ASB Classic in Auckland on Friday.

Linette is 2-0 head-to-head vs. Eala.

Best Pick: Magda Linette +3.5 Games

Potential Payout: $220 on a $120 Bet (-120)

Current Form:

Eala is off to a fantastic start in 2026 after earning her first quarterfinals stint on the WTA Tour this season. The Filipina rising star made it to the last eight after outhustling Donna Vekic 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 and blasting Petra Marcinko 6-0, 6-2.

Meanwhile, the No.52-ranked Linette has scored back-to-back three-set victories over Venus Williams 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 and Elisabetta Cocciaretto 7-5, 2-6, 6-3. Linette is breaking really well in the tournament, converting 10 of 19 breakpoint chances.

Our Magda Linette vs Alexandra Eala Prediction

Fearless Forecast: Alexandra Eala takes the win 6-4, 5-7, 7-6

Reasoning: Eala is in for a hard battle against Linette, whom she’s trying to take down for the first time in three matches. Eala lost to the Pole twice last year in Abu Dhabi and Nottingham. Honestly, I won’t be surprised if Linette still comes out on top of this latest showdown with the Rafael Nadal Academy product, but Eala has shown in the last two matches the vast improvement in her game, especially her mental toughness. Again, Linette is not a pushover. The veteran will test Eala’s quality and composure from start to finish, keeping the scores close down to the final point.
