There has just one previous meeting between these two players and Petkovic had won that on grass way back in 2016.

Linette’s Won Just Two Matches This Season
It hasn’t been the most auspicious of starts to the season in 2022 for Linette with the Polish player having won just two main draw encounters this year.
After kick-starting the year with an opening round loss in Adelaide, Linette did manage a victory in the first round of Australian Open but that was where her campaign at the season’s first Grand Slam ended.
This was followed by another opening defeat in St. Petersburg Open, a qualifying loss in Dubai and then another struggling win in Doha’s opener before she fell in the second round.
As a result, Linette begins her campaign in Indian Wells Open on the back of a struggle, hoping for her opponent’s form to continue to remain as underwhelming as her own.

Petkovic Also Hasn’t Won Too Many
Unlike Linette, Petkovic did kick-start her season with a bang at the Melbourne Summer Set 1 but her results have tapered off since then.
At that competition in Melbourne, Petkovic claimed a couple of victories over Ludmilla Samsonova and Clara Burel before falling at the quarterfinal stage of the competition to Naomi Osaka.
That was par for the course, and as was her defeat to Barbora Krejcikova in the Australian Open’s opener.
A win in the first round at St. Petersburg Open against Rebecca Peterson was a surprise given Petkovic had entered the match at 2/1 odds, but Jelena Ostapenko got the better of her and that was followed by a first round loss at Doha.
What gives Petkovic bit of an edge is the fact her defeats have typically come against players of much higher pedigree this season. Against Linette, she might give herself a better chance of winning.
Linette v Petkovic Prediction and Tip
While on paper both seem evenly-matched, Petkovic should hold the edge here given her record against similarly-ranked players this season as opposed to the struggles Linette has had to endure. Petkovic starts a favourite.
Tip: Petkovic to win: 8/11 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
