This first round match shows just what a quality field we have in this WTA Berlin grass court tournament. Fifth seed Qinwen Zheng faces Elena Rybakina who is unseeded in this WTA 500 event. Here's our match prediction.
The winner of this match will face the qualifier Katerina Siniakova in round two. Qinwen Zheng is at a career-high fourth in the new ranking list. The Chinese player reached the semi-finals at Queen's Club last week where she was the top seed.
That was the first time she'd made it to the last four of a grass court tournament. The 22-year-old had wins over McCartney Kessler (in three sets) and Emma Raducanu before being beaten by eventual runner-up Amanda Anisimova.
While Zheng has never made it past round three at Wimbledon, Elena Rybakina is a former winner of the grass court Grand Slam having lifted the trophy in 2022. Last year saw her get to the semi-finals.
The only grass court match between these two players was at Wimbledon three years ago with Rybakina winning in straight sets.
Rybakina is 11th in the latest ranking list. The 25-year-old also played at Queen's Club last week. After beating Heather Watson, Rybakina was beaten by Tatjana Maria who went on to win the title.
We tip Rybakina to win this match.
