However, Linette won their last encounter, so it’ll be interesting to see who will come out on top here.

Karolina Pliskova’s Performance At the Australian Open in the Past
It’s fair to point out that Karolina Pliskova has had her fair share of success in grand slams; she has reached the semi-final in all four grand slams, with two final appearances. That said, her best result here in Melbourne was in 2019, where she lost to eventual champion Naomi Osaka in the semi-final.
Karolina Pliskova Australian Open 2023 Prediction – Semi-final or Final
Considering how well she has played against Magda Linette in the past, we believe that Karolina Pliskova will book a place in the semi-final of this competition. Should she reach the semi-final, she would face either Aryna Sabalenka or Donna Vekic. While this would be a tricky fixture for the former World number 1, we believe she can hold her own against both players.
Furthermore, potential final opponents are Elena Rybakina and Victoria Azarenka. All in all, we think Pliskova’s road ends in the semi-final or final of this competition.
