After winning the Olympic title here last year, Qinwen Zheng is again going well at Roland Garros. The eighth seed takes on 19th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova for a place in the quarter-finals of this outdoor clay court tournament. Here's our match prediction.
Zheng has risen to a career-high fifth in the live rankings list. The 22-year-old has won nine of her 12 matches played on clay this year. That includes a win over Aryna Sabalenka who could be her next opponent if the top seed defeats Amanda Anisimova on Sunday.
Zheng has reached one clay court semi-final this year. Her three matches this week have all been won in straight sets with victories over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Emilana Arango and qualifier Victoria Mboko to reach round four for the second time.
Samsonova leads Zheng 3-2 in previous meetings. However, the Russian lost the only match played on clay. The world number 18 is playing in the French Open for the seventh time. This is her first appearance in round four.
A win here will see the 26-year-old reach her first Grand Slam quarter-final. Last weekend saw her get to the final in Strasbourg and her good form has continued at Roland Garros. Two unseeded players (one a qualifier) have all been defeated in straight sets.
We tip Qinwen Zheng to win this in straight sets.
