Zhang Shuai will face the in-form top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the third round of this year’s Canadian Open. Their sixth career meeting comes four years after their last. Sabalenka has dominated this fixture, and our prediction backs her for another win.
Sabalenka is seeking her maiden title at the Canadian Open. If she goes all the way, she will earn her fourth title of the season and record her first triumph since March.
The world number one had a sublime start to the year as she made it to the final in four straight tournaments. After switching to clay and then grass, this streak was cut short. A winner of 24 of 25 hard court fixtures, Sabalenka won in straights against Moyuka Uchijima in the last round.
Zhang Shuai advanced to the third round after defeating 26th seed Jelena Ostapenko. The Chinese star did not drop a set to Ostapenko, who was struggling with an injury and was forced to retire in the second set.
Looking to end a five-match losing streak against top-10-ranked opponents, Zhang has now won 20 matches this season. She has also shot up nine places in the live ranking to position 53.
Zhang has lost the last four meetings with Sabalenka without claiming a set. Their last meeting was in Cincinnati back in 2022.
