Linette won her first WTA Tour title at the 2019 Bronx Open, and her first WTA 125K title at the 2014 Ningbo International Open. Her best result in WTA Premier tournaments is quarterfinal of 2016 Pan Pacific Open.

In 2020, she won Fan Favorite Shot of the Year by the WTA for a slice forehand that she played en-route her second WTA Tour title at the 2020 Thailand Open in her match against Peng Shuai.

Personal life[]

Magda Linette was born on 12 February 1992 in Poznań to Tomasz and Beata.[3] Her father is a tennis coach and her mother is an educator.[4] Linette was coached by Izudin 'Izo' Zunić during the first half of her career, but beginning in 2018, formed a partnership with Great Britain's Mark Gellard.[3][5]

In May, Linette received a wildcard to the qualifying draw of the Warsaw Open, a Premier-level tournament. She beat her doubles partner Paula Kania in straight sets but lost to Anna Chakvetadze. In June, she won her first professional tournament in Szczecin as a wildcard entrant.[7] In July, she made it to the final of the ITF Circuit tournament at Toruń but lost to top seed Ksenia Pervak, in straight sets.[8]

In February, Linette won the Thailand Open, rising to a career-high ranking of No. 33. In December, she won the WTA Fan Favorite Shot of the Year, which she performed in round two of the Thailand Open against Peng Shuai.[16]

2021: WTA semifinal, new coach, first Grand Slam doubles semifinal, two Grand Slam singles 3rd rounds[]

Linette started the season at the end of March due to a knee injury. In May, she advanced to her first semifinal since triumphing at the Hua Hin Championships last February. At Strasbourg, she defeated Yulia Putintseva in the quarterfinal before losing a three-set semifinal match against Sorana Cîrstea.[17]

On May 21st, Linette posted on Instagram that she started a new coaching partnership with , who was previously coaching Agnieszka Radwańska.[18]

At the French Open, Linette defeated Chloé Paquet and No. 1 seed Ashleigh Barty. In the third round, she lost to Ons Jabeur in three sets. At the same tournament in doubles, she reached the semifinals, partnering with American Bernarda Pera, for the first time in her career.

Linette continued at Wimbledon, where she defeated Amanda Anisimova and No. 3 seed Elina Svitolina to advance to the third round. In the third round, she lost to Paula Badosa in three sets.

Playing style[]

Linette playing a slice backhand, a shot that she uses frequently to break her opponent's rhythm.

Linette started out defensive player, whose game was primarily built around her strong movement and consistent ball striking from the baseline. The Pole has, however, began finding an increasing amount of success after altering her game style away from being a counterpuncher, to actively creating opportunities to hit winners on the court. Ever since partnering with Mark Gellard, Linette also worked on improving the mental aspect of her game.[19]

"My whole life, I've needed a bit more time for everything![...] You have a different starting point but you're measured by the same measures as everybody else."

 —Linette on the lack of institutional support in Poland and having her most successful season at the age of 28.[4]

Her strengths on court are her speed, footwork, court coverage, and anticipation.[19] Her strongest groundstroke is her two-handed backhand, which is hit flat and with depth, and which is responsible for many of the winners she accumulates on court. Her forehand is also strong, and is hit with topspin, making it a safe and reliable shot.

Having spent a significant time on the doubles circuit as well, Linette has developed solid volleying skills and often looks to finish points off at the net. She is capable of introducing drop shots and sliced backhands into points, constantly breaking up an opponent's rhythm, and to attempt to draw unforced errors out of aggressive players.

Linette's serve is not particularly strong, with her first serve averaging 95 mph (153 km/h) and her second serve averaging 80 mph (130 km/h), but is reliable, meaning that, whilst she does not ace frequently, double faults are also uncommon. She is a strong player on return, also, effectively neutralising strong first serves with a backhand down-the-line or a cross-court forehand.

Notes

  1. ^ Jump up to: a b The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The two tournaments have since alternated status every year.
  2. ^ Jump up to: a b In 2014, the Pan Pacific Open was downgraded to a Premier event and replaced by the Wuhan Open.
