Qinwen Zheng is through to the second round at the Italian Open and will next take on 30th seed Cristina Bucsa. This will be their first career meeting. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Bucsa is starting a new week eager to end her current losing streak. The Spaniard, who has been plagued with inconsistency this term, has lost three matches in a row.
She stumbled in her opener in Madrid last time out as she made her season debut on clay. That loss came after back-to-back second-round defeats in Miami and Indian Wells.
Bucsa has never won a match in the Italian capital, and with her current slump, she could be forced to wait a bit longer. The 28-year-old, who has compiled a shaky 7-8 record, is ranked 29th in the live ranking.
Qinwen Zheng has seen a huge drop in the live ranking despite winning her previous match. The Chinese star has plummeted 21 places to 53rd in the WTA after losing 355 ranking points.
Zheng returned to the tour in February after being out since September with an injury. She has since compiled a decent 6-4 record and has made it to the second week in Miami and Doha.
The former world number four defeated Anna Bondar in the first round in three sets. Competing in Rome for a fourth consecutive season, Zheng produced a semi-final finish in last year’s event.

Our Cristina Bucsa vs Qinwen Zheng Prediction
Our prediction for Cristina Bucsa v Qinwen Zheng is for the exact score: 1-2. Bucsa is going through a rough patch as she has lost three matches on the trot. Yet to win on clay, the Spaniard has also lacked consistency through the season. Zheng has also blown hot and cold, but she arrives in much better form for this tie.
A clay court specialist, Zheng has compiled a winning record and has produced some strong performances. Having never failed to qualify for the second week of competing in Rome, Zheng is in a strong position to win this match. A decider, however, is likely to be played, given that Bucsa is also good on clay.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
