Match Predict – Handicap (-4) for Sabalenka
The Belarusian has defeated Magda Linette twice in her career without any problems. Sabalenka is in great shape now, she plays from a position of strength in every match and no one has been able to withstand her pressure so far. We don’t think the Polish representative will have a chance to win even one set.
Total Games Under 21
Sabalenka has not allowed Linette to win more than four games in their two head-to-head encounters. In all of her Melbourne matches, Aryna has been a perfect 2-0 in sets and that’s what we’re waiting for today.
Preliminary review and pre-match prediction for Magda Linette vs Aryna Sabalenka
Magda Linette:
There was no doubt that the Polish player would play in the semi-finals. However, hardly anyone thought it would be Magda Linette. At least in the top four was expected Iga Swiatek, who lost in the 1/8 finals to Elena Rybakina.
Linette reached the semi-finals at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career. Moreover, previously her best result at this level was the third round.
At this tournament, Magda defeated four seeded tennis players. In the 1/8 final, she defeated Caroline Garcia (7-6, 6-4).
In the quarter-finals, Linette defeated Karolina Pliskova (6-3, 7-5). The Czech was brought down by her poor play on the second serve (she took only 29% of points). She was very good on the first serve, as well as on the second one. Pliskova could take only one game on serve.
Linette has not been able to win against a player from Belarus since 2019 (four defeats).

Aryna Sabalenka:
Sabalenka, meanwhile, reached the semi-finals in Melbourne for the first time. Thanks to this, she will return to the top four.
In the quarterfinals, Aryna easily defeated Donna Vekic (6-3, 6-2).
In the previous rounds, the Belarusian has not given up a single set either. Though, she had some serious opponents there.
Previously, Sabalenka stopped Tereza Martincova (6-1, 6-4), Shelby Rogers (6-3, 6-1), Elise Mertens (6-2, 6-3) and Belinda Bencic (7-5, 6-2).
Aryna’s winning streak already stands at nine matches. Earlier this month, she took the title in Adelaide. There, too, the Belarusian did not lose a single set.
Sabalenka has not lost a set so far this year.
