Karolina Pliskova and Magda Linette are scheduled to face one another in the first round match of the US Open 2022 on Tuesday, August 30.
Karolina Pliskova, the current World No. 22 and former World No. 1, has had a difficult year in 2022. Her form hasn’t been the same since she was sidelined by a hand injury for the first three months of the season. She arrived in New York with a 15-14 record that included a slew of early-round exits. In fact, Pliskova has only won more than one main draw match in three tournaments this season. She was a semifinalist in Strasbourg and Toronto, as well as a quarterfinalist in the Bett1Open. In these competitions, she defeated prominent athletes such as Bianca Andreescu, Kaia Kanepi, Barbora Krejcikova, Amanda Anisimova, and Maria Sakkari.
With a score of 28–22, Polish player Magda Linette has had a statistically superior year to Pliskova. However, it might be challenging for her to defeat her Czech rival given her lack of experience playing against the top players on the tour. Linette has been successful primarily in low-tier events based on her recent form. She competed in the quarterfinals of the Prague 250 tournament before winning the ITF $100,000 event in Poland. However, after that, the 30-year-old lost to Tereza Martincova in the qualifiers in Cincinnati but then accomplished another elite-eight feat in Cleveland (loss to Liudmila Samsonova).
Karolina Pliskova and Magda Linette are scheduled to face one another in the first round match of the US Open 2022 on Tuesday, August 30.
