One of the WTA's most exciting young players will be in action on Thursday, when Iva Jovic will take to Madrid's clay against Magda Linette. On paper, this looks like a fabulous opportunity for Jovic to get the job done and resume winning ways after some disappointing results. The youngster has slowed down a little in recent weeks, but we've seen her pick up some pleasing clay-court wins since the start of the season, while she has a 100% record against Linette, who probably isn't as close to her best on this surface as Jovic is right now.
The Polish player hasn't played as much clay-court tennis as Jovic has in recent weeks, which means that she's probably not as well prepared for this battle. What's more, Linette has previously struggled against Jovic, losing two out of two against the youngster, losing by at least four games on each occasion, leaving me to concldue that the American player is worth betting to win this match by at least four games.

Our Magda Linette vs Iva Jovic Prediction
The rapidly improving and hugely talented Iva Jovic has run into something of a brick wall in recent weeks, but she remains a very capable clay-court player, and we really should not be shocked if she makes light work of defeating a player who has played just two recent clay-court matches. The way in which Magda Linette recently lost to Marta Kostyuk tells us that she could really struggle against someone like Jovic, who has picked up some very convincing clay-court wins since the start of the season.
