Bianca Andreescu vs Magda Linette Beijing Prediction 9/24/2025 Today’s Tennis Picks

Former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu will face World No. 38 Magda Linette in the first round of the 2025 China Open in Beijing. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, September 24. Here’s our Bianca Andreescu vs Magda Linette prediction. This preview will also include a Bianca Andreescu vs Magda Linette pick.

Bianca Andreescu vs Magda Linette Preview

Bianca Andreescu is ranked 181st in the WTA rankings and will play in her second China Open main draw. Andreescu’s only ever appearance in Beijing was during her career-best season in 2019. She reached the quarterfinals and lost to Naomi Osaka in three sets.

Andreescu has once more battled another injury-riddled season. She has featured in just 20 matches and injured her ankle while playing Barbora Krejcikova at her home tournament in Montreal. Although she dusted herself off to win the match, she withdrew from the event shortly after. Andreescu was forced to miss the remainder of the hard-court swing in North America to continue her recovery efforts, and this will be her first tournament in almost two months. 

Magda Linette is ranked 38th in the WTA rankings. The 33-year-old Pole has compiled 21 wins against 22 losses this season. Her best result was reaching the semifinals in Nottingham, and she also reached two quarterfinals on hard courts earlier this season. 

Linette made the fourth round of the Cincinnati Open, but hasn’t won a match since, losing three in a row and retiring hurt with a knee injury in her last tournament in Guadalajara. Linette is making her fifth main draw appearance at the China Open. She has lost in the first round in Beijing twice in her career, but made the round of 16 in each of the last two seasons.

Andreescu and Linette will meet for the first time at the China Open.

Bianca Andreescu vs Magda Linette Prediction

Both players are playing their first tournament post-injury. But it is Andreescu who needed an extended period of recovery, having not competed since the Canadian Open. But the former US Open champion has been in this situation many times in the past, and I don’t think match rhythm will be a significant factor in the result. If anything, the break could be detrimental to Linette’s game, with the Pole succumbing to defeat in her first tournament after injury the last time on grass.
