Qinwen Zheng Player Overview
Zheng usually doesn't perform particularly well on clay courts. However, this isn't a reason to count her out. The most significant achievement of Qinwen's career came last summer at Roland Garros, where she managed to clinch the Olympic gold medal. In the foreseeable future, it's unlikely that the Chinese player will drop out of the top-10 world rankings, as she doesn't have many points to defend. Additionally, just a week earlier, the tennis player earned a substantial number of points at the Miami Open (top-8), winning three matches convincingly.
Match Results: Qinwen Zheng
Maria Sakkari Player Overview
Sakkari is still in a tough crisis, but she's poised to make a comeback soon. Maria is regaining her form after a lengthy break, wisely not rushing things unless absolutely necessary. Last month, the Greek player didn't stay long in California and Florida, which allowed her to conserve a great deal of energy. Yesterday, she dominated Marina Stakusic in just an hour and a half, despite not playing her best in service games (suffering three breaks and winning only a third of the points on her first serve).

Editorial Prediction
In the final analysis, we believe the match will not end in a rout. Both competitors are far from their peak conditions despite some signs of improvement, and we anticipate that the coveted ticket to the next round won't be secured easily by either side. Opting for a total over seems to be the logical choice for this encounter.
