My Prediction
Zheng in 3 sets.Well, let me tell you about this catty battle we have on our hands. We've got the 8th seeded Qinwen Zheng locking horns with the unseeded Olga Danilovic. No points for guessing who the bookies are favoring - Zheng, right? Now, let's dig into why.
Looking at their recent matches, Zheng has been a mixed bag. Wins against strong competition such as Mertens and Sakkari are counterbalanced by losses to Alexandrova and Potapova. And speaking of Alexandrova, there's a common link there with our lady Danilovic, who also fell against her. That's tennis folks, it's all connected like a web of unforced errors.
Danilovic's recent story has been flavored with more sweetness than sourness. Bagging victories against Siniaková and, impressively, Azarenka, I tell you, this girl can play a bit. But hold your horses, Zheng is no walkover. Coming in as the 8th seed means something, doesn't it?
I reckon the smart money is on Zheng. She may falter, sure, and we may see an entertaining tie full of deuces, aces, and double faults. But at the end of the day, the seedings, recent form, and payout data suggest that Zheng will outmaneuver Danilovic in the Italian duel.
Albert’s Prediction: Zheng in 3 sets.
