Magda Linette, the Polish tennis sensation, has clinched a pivotal victory at the Charleston tournament, defeating Dayana Yastremska 2-1. This win marks Linette’s first back-to-back success since last fall, propelling her into a third-round face-off against top seed Jessica Pegula.
Despite a rocky start with a 0-6 loss in the first set, Linette demonstrated her trademark resilience. Adjusting her strategy, she improved her serve and managed to break Yastremska three times in the second set to level the match. The final set saw Linette at her best, preventing any break opportunities for Yastremska and securing a 6-3 victory with a decisive break in the sixth game.
Linette’s next opponent, Jessica Pegula, emerged victorious from a close match against Amanda Anisimova.
