WTA Linz Day 4: Pliskova vs Alexandrova Predictions
The Linz event has produced high-quality tennis so far. Day 4 will feature four Round of 16 matches.
Filmogaz.com offers WTA Linz Day 4 coverage and predictions ahead of the evening session. The schedule includes former world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova among the contenders.
Round of 16 previews
Donna Vekic vs Anhelina Kalinina
This will be the first career meeting between Vekic and Kalinina. Both players arrive having won three matches since coming through qualifying.
Vekic’s presence in qualifying remains notable, given her Olympic silver medal. Kalinina’s preference for clay should help her target Vekic’s movement. Prediction: Kalinina in 2.
Liudmila Samsonova vs Lilli Tagger
Samsonova and Tagger have not faced each other before. Tagger opened her campaign with an impressive win over Paula Badosa.
The 18-year-old’s athleticism and court coverage can trouble power hitters. Samsonova’s firepower is still the slight favorite, but expect a tight match. Prediction: Samsonova in 3.
Anastasia Potapova vs Tamara Korpatsch
The pair have met once, with Korpatsch holding a 1-0 edge. This encounter promises long exchanges on clay.
Neither player relies on heavy pace, increasing the battle for consistency. Korpatsch offers more tactical variety, but the 25-year-old Potapova should grind out a win. Prediction: Potapova in 2.
Karolina Pliskova vs Ekaterina Alexandrova
Their head-to-head stands level at 2-2. Pliskova returned to action in the previous round after nearly two months out.
She beat Aliaksandra Sasnovich to advance. Alexandrova hits hard and flat, mirroring Pliskova’s style. Given Pliskova’s recent comeback and injury concerns, Alexandrova looks poised to prevail. Prediction: Alexandrova in 2.
Summary
Four Round of 16 spots will be decided on Day 4. Filmogaz.com offers these concise predictions for each match.
