 Carolina Plushkova vs. Magnet Lynette is the third quarterfinal for the ladies singles at the Australian Open for 2023. And both ladies have been impressive to get to the quarterfinal stage. Lynette started the tournament off unseeded and would take on Shariff in the first round. And after a close first set she'd get through in straight 7-5-6-1. In the second round she'd take on the number 16 seed Contovate. And after dropping the first set would have to fight to get back getting through in 3-3-6-3-6-4. In the third round she'd take on the number 19 seed Alexandrova. And this was by far her best performance beating the Russian in straights 6-3-6-4. In the fourth round she took on the number 4 seed Caroline Garcia. And after a shaky start and a close first set she caused one of the upsets of the tournament getting through in straights 7-6-6-4 to get to her first grand slam quarterfinal. Plushkova started the tournament off as the number 30 seed and would take on Wong in the first round. But this was no trouble getting through in straight sets 6-1-6-3. In the second round she'd take on Putinseva. And again this was an easy match for Plushkova getting through in straight sets 6-1-7-5. In the third round she'd take on Gracheva who had beaten Kazakina in the first round. And again Plushkova looked great getting through in straights 6-4-6-2. In the fourth round she'd play against the number 23 seed Song. And again Plushkova just dominated from the start winning in straight sets 6-1-6-4 to get to the quarterfinals again in Australia. These two have played nine times before with Plushkova leading the head to head 7-2 in their last meeting happening back at the Billie Jean King Cup last year. But they did play a very close three set up at the US Open last year. If Lynette's going to win she needs to keep the variety and get Plushkova on the run. We all know that Plushkova isn't great at moving around the court. She loves to stand there and hit winners so Lynette has to get on the offensive before Plushkova does. If Plushkova is going to win this one she needs to serve well and take over the baseline. Make her opponent run. I mean just like what she has to avoid happening to her. She needs to keep aggressive and she gets off to that good start again. She'll probably be in the semis again. This is a really interesting match because I think a lot of us didn't think we're going to see this match up with the names that were around. I mean Garcia and Kazakina were in this part of the draw. I'm going to go with Plushkova. I think experience will win the day and she'll get to the semifinals in three sets. But let me know down in the comments below who do you think is going to win this one.
