After a very unsuccessful start to the year, Magda Lynette is finally starting to catch the wind, and the smile on her face is appearing more and more. At the Australian Open, Abu Dhabi, Doha or Indian Wells, an experienced tennis player could not even get past the second round. It was no different in Miami, where she initially lost in the competition with Lesia Korenko. I finally found the right rhythm in Charleston.
Lynette broke her bad streak. Charleston serves Poles
Subsequent defeats led to a significant drop in the WTA rankings. Linette currently sits in a distant 63rd place. It's harder to stay at the top than to climb it, as you've already discovered. Well, it's time to start climbing that peak again. She started by defeating Petra Martic in the first round of the competition in Charleston. Lynette did not give her opponent, who was two places higher in the classification, a chance to gain momentum and won 6:3, 6:4.
In the second round, the crossing was much more difficult. Dagana Yastremska broke the Polish player's serve 6-0 in the first set and there was no sign of a dramatic turnaround in the second set. And after. The disastrous defeat did not discourage the 32-year-old, who quickly recovered and after a brilliant set full of battles, won 6:4. In the decisive match, Lynette was the first to break her opponent, which turned out to be the key to success.
Winning 6-3 allowed them to finally win 2-1 and thus qualify for the third round of the tournament for the first time in several months. A big challenge awaits the pole there. In the 1/8 finals of the WTA Charleston Championship she will face Jessica Pegula, the No. 5 racket in the world.
Up to two games in one day? Magda Lynette's schedule is very tight
So far, women have only had the opportunity to compete once. In March 2023, during the Miami Open, Pegula confidently defeated Linette 6:1, 7:5 in the 1/8 finals of the Miami Open. Polish fans expect that the 32-year-old will take revenge and win in Charleston over the American.
We already know the official date and time of the Battle of Pegula-Linate. The tennis players will compete in the 1/8 Finals on Thursday, April 4, no earlier than 6:30 PM Polish time. Before the Pole appears on the field, Hubert Hurkacz will play his match. The Wrocław native will face Jan Chośński in the second round of the ATP 250 tournament.
Thursday will be a very intense day for Magda Lynette. In addition to the match with Jessica Pegula, she will also compete in a tag team match. They will play alongside Shuai Zhang against Nicole Malechar Martinez/Ellen Perez in the quarterfinals of the competition in Charleston. The meeting will not begin before 9:00 p.m. Therefore, the Polish actress will have little time to rest after the confrontation with Pegula, which will certainly cost her a lot of strength.
