Ons Jabeur v Magda Linette Head to Head
Jabeur leads 2-1 head to head. Linette’s win came so many years ago (in Baku in 2013) that it may be insignificant at the moment.
Jabeur won both the recent matches between them, beating Linette in Charleston in 2017 and scoring a come-from-behind victory at Roland Garros.

Jabeur Looking to Overcome Indian Wells Setback
Three consecutive quarterfinals followed by an astounding second round upset by qualifier Daria Saville in Indian Wells. That’s how Ons Jabeur’s season has been so far. It will be interesting to see if that defeat to then World No. 409 was just an aberration or a sign of things to come in future.
The Tunisian would definitely like to think that the setback was a temporary one. She will look to return to form in Miami.
The eighth seed, who had a first round bye, is 6-4 this season. She was a quarterfinalist in Sydney, Dubai and Qatar but is still looking for a first semifinal spot of the season. The 27-year-old reached that stage five times last year, going on to win her maiden tour-level title in Birmingham and finishing runner-up in Charleston-2 and the Chicago Fall Classic.
This is Jabeur’s third appearance in Miami. Her best came last year when she made it to the fourth round before being eliminated by Sara Sorribes Tormo in three.

Linette Battles Past Zheng
Poland’s Magda Linette marched into the second round with a straight sets victory over China’s Qinwen Zheng.
The match began with four consecutive breaks of serve before Linette surged ahead with a third break in the set. But the World no. 63 failed to close out the set at 5-3, allowing the Chinese player to break a third time as well. Linette took control of things in the tiebreak and took a one-set-to-love lead. She began the second by winning the first two games, but Zheng responded by taking the next three.
Back on serve, both players held serve over the next three games, before Linette got the decisive second break to seal the contest 7-6 (7-4), 6-4.
With the win, the 30-year-old improved her 2022 main draw record to 3-5. Her other two wins this year had come against Anastasija Sevastova at the Australian Open and Alison Riske in Qatar.
Plaing in Miami for the fifth time she will be hoping to match her 2016 result when she reached the third round.
