Linette, who began the 2021 season at the Miami Open, had beaten Robin Montgomery in the first round of the Premier Mandatory event, but a defeat in the second round to Johanna Konta started a losing streak for Linette, who went on to make four successive first-round exits.
The 29-year-old right-hander fell to Amanda Anisimova at the Volvo Car Open, Maria Camila Osorio Serrano at the MUSC Health Women’s Open, Saisai Zheng at the Madrid Open and Petra Kvitova at the Italian Open.
Linette, who has reached four finals at the WTA level, won the Bronx Open in 2019 and the Hua Hin Championships last year.
She had also won her first round match in Strasbourg last year, but was beaten by Elina Svitolina in the Round of 16.
