Magda Linette v Jodie Burrage Head to Head
The pair have played once before, and that was on the grass of Nottingham three months ago, Burrage winning in straight sets.

Linette Endured Difficult North American Hard Court Season
Whilst most of the attention when it comes to Polish women’s tennis is captured by Iga Swiatek, the achievements of Linette should not be underestimated.
Although she has won no titles in 2023, she did get to the semi-finals of the Australian Open, made the fourth round in Miami, and broke inside the top 20 for the first time in her career.
That is enough to earn her top seed billing in Guangzhou, even though her results have tailed off recently.
After reaching the third round of Wimbledon, she had a disappointing North American hard court season, losing in the first round in both Montreal and Cincinnati.
She did reach the second round of the US Open before losing to Jennifer Brady, but suffered another first round loss in San Diego, this time beaten by Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine.

Burrage Now the British Number Two
This has been a breakthrough season for Burrage, who, only a few years ago, seemed on the verge of quitting the sport because of injuries.
Her persistence has been rewarded with a string of performances that helped her break into the top 100 for the first time in her career, and also reach her first senior final in Nottingham, where she was eventually beaten by compatriot Katie Boulter. She is now the number two ranked British player after Boulter.
From Nottingham she went on to reach the second round of Wimbledon, and was given a place in the main draw of the US Open for the first time in her career.
She went on to beat the world number 38, Anna Blinkova in straight sets.
Unfortunately for her the world number one Arnya Sabalenka was her next opponent, and she lost in straight sets to her.
Linette v Burrage Prediction and Tip
Although Burrage won their earlier match this year, that was on grass and in home conditions. A Chinese hard court is a very different proposition, and, with Linette the top seed, she will want to justify her billing.
Burrage, though, will not make it easy for her.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Linette to win: 5/7 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 23.5 games in the match: 5/4 (with bet365)
