On January 23, the fourth round of the 2023 Australian Open will begin with France’s Carolina Garcia taking on Poland’s Magda Linette. Garcia defeated German Laura Siegemund in a comeback victory to secure her spot in the Australian Open’s second round. The Frenchwoman, who is one of the tournament favourites this fortnight, fell behind Siegemund for a set and a half and was in serious trouble. Garcia’s serve, which is the foundation of everything he does well on the court, was nonexistent in the opening set. And Siegemund made the most of the opportunity, scoring 44% more points than the return. Garcia, however, fought back and significantly raised her first serve percentage.

Magda Linette had a 0-6 record in Grand Slam third-round matches. When she faced Ekaterina Alexadnrova, who was also trying to break through this barrier in a Major for the first time, that statistic weighed heavily on her shoulders. There will be two Polish players in the women’s draw of the last 16 after Linette defeated the Russian in straight sets, soaking up her strength like a sponge in water. With a stunning drop shot in the first game of the match, Linette immediately established her dominance in this match. In the opening set, the two players quickly traded breaks, but in game eight, Alexandrova was the next to falter, leaving Linette to serve for a one-set advantage.
