Magda Linette continues to surprise at the Australian Open. The world’s media comment on the sensational victory of Linette over the Frenchwoman, who was one of the favorites to win the Australian Open.
Magda Linette “a sensation of the tournament” according to world media
The official WTA website comments directly: “Linette rocked Garcia and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open”. The report emphasized that this was the first promotion of a Polish tennis player to this phase of the tournament held in Melbourne. “Good things come to those who wait,” we read. According to the WTA, the turning point came at 5-3 for Garcia in the first set when Linette recovered to win the set in a tie-break.
AFP also writes about the shock. “Linette, ranked 45th in the ranking, gave a great reason to be happy to a large group of white and red fans at the Rod Laver Arena. All this just 24 hours after they witnessed the elimination of Iga Świątek,” the agency states.
Latino portal Infobae.com describes Linette as a “tournament sensation”. “The tennis veteran from Poland won despite losing 3-5 in the first set to claim her fourth win over a top-10 tennis player,” she states.

“Linette upset Garcia en route to her first career Grand Slam quarterfinal,” the Associated Press commented. “Linette continues to surprise and will play Pliskova in the quarterfinals” – this is the headline of the Catalan “Sport”, which, like Infobae, describes the Polish tennis player as a “tournament sensation”.
– No, I don’t feel popular at all. When I’m on the courts with my bag, there are a few people who recognize me, but otherwise it’s definitely calm – It seems that after the performance in the Australian Open, the Polish tennis player will become more recognizable not only in Poland, but also in the world. She will play Karolina Pliskova (31st WTA) for the semi-final. The Czech has not lost a set in Melbourne yet.
