Victoria Azarenka v Magda Linette Head to Head
It is 2-0 to Azarenka; they last met in Indian Wells in 2021, where the Belarusian prevailed in straight sets. Coincidentally, they met in the same round in the Miami Open of 2016, where Azarenka won comfortably 6-3, 6-0.

Vika Beats Giorgi
Former world number one Victoria Azarenka wasted no time in getting things started as she dispatched Camila Giorgi 6-3, 6-1 in 77 minutes, much to the chagrin of the Italian. Giorgi was not pleased with the hammering, evident from the cold handshake at the end of the match.
The 33-year-old, meanwhile, marched into the third round comfortably at a tournament where she is a three-time champion. Vika last won the event in 2016 and has since made it as far as the semifinal just once.
Looking at her season so far, it has been eventful. Azarenka started with a quarterfinal stint in Adelaide and, later, a semifinal feat in the Australian Open. Since then, her form has degraded slightly as she lost in the second round in Doha and Indian Wells, and the third round in Dubai. Her record for the year stands at 11-6, ranked World No. 16.

Linette Moves Past Rodina
Magda Linette, playing as the 20th seed, started with a bye into round two, where she dispatched Evgeniya Rodina 6-3, 6-4.
Like Azarenka, the Pole’s record is also now at 11-6, and she is currently ranking just three spots below her opponent. A big chunk of those wins came in Melbourne, where she made her Grand Slam semifinal debut.
Although Linette later reached the quarterfinal in Merida, she did follow it with disappointing opening-round exits in Austin and Indian Wells.
Nonetheless, the 31-year-old will be pleased with the progress she has made on the circuit. With this newly found confidence, she should be optimistic about her chances against Azarenka.
Azarenka v Linette Prediction and Tip
Azarenka is the odds-on favourite for this one, but as we have seen in the past, she is prone to upsets. Linette has recorded some impressive victories against the elites, and there is no reason why she can’t do that in this match too. At 12/5 to win, punters may want to consider backing the Pole for this one.
