Qinwen Zheng ends her break from WTA Washington this week to play as a wildcard, facing Alexandra Eala in the first round. This will be the second time they face off. Eala has won six times in her last nine outings, and our prediction tips her to win here.
Eala lost to Zheng in their only previous encounter three years ago, at that time, she was still unknown in the WTA. Now, ahead of their next showdown, she is the favorite to win, after an exciting year on tour.
Eala has won 31 matches so far this season, competing mostly on tour. The Filipino star is coming off an exciting grass campaign that ended with her making it to the fourth round at Wimbledon.
Ending a three-week break, Eala will start her charge in DC as the world number 27.
Zheng last competed in DC three seasons ago. She lost in the first round in what was her debut appearance. The Chinese star will be keen not to suffer another early exit.
A strong outing last time out in Athens should give her needed confidence in a season that has seen the same share of joy and heartache. Zheng, who is coming off a quarter-final finish in Athens, has compiled an 11-11 record.
Fitness concerns have also held her back this year following an elbow injury last season. The lack of a consistent positive spell has seen the former top 10 player drop out of the top 100.
