Qinwen vs Kristina Liutova Prediction 31 August 2026
🔊 Zheng Qinwen against Kristina Lyutova at the start of the US Open is pure sporting drama. An Olympic champion working her way back from serious injury meets a 16-year-old Russian who is rewriting tennis history right now. The outcome is incredibly hard to call, but the match itself promises to be something special.
Head-to-Head
📊 Zheng Qinwen and Christina Lyutova have no previous meetings between them, so head-to-head record plays no part in the analysis of this match.
Qinwen Zheng Player Overview
Zheng Qinwen arrives at this match having won five of her last ten. She won three consecutive matches in US Open qualifying, though she had previously lost to Lanlana Tararudi. On serve, Zheng holds 76% of her service games - a solid level for her ranking - with a first-serve percentage of 62%. There is some inconsistency in her recent form: she has been bagelled three times in her last ten matches and has struggled with double faults, which account for 9% of her second serves. Overall, though, her games numbers are broadly neutral - she has won 52% of both sets and games. That form suggests she is capable of competing for her chances, but her key metrics trail those of her opponent.
