Top seed Qinwen Zheng finally gets her grass court campaign underway. After receiving a first round bye, Zheng takes on unseeded McCartney Kessler for a place in the Queen's Club quarter-finals. Here's our match prediction.
Zheng is a career-high fifth in the rankings but will move up to fourth if winning this grass court title. The Chinese player does not have the greatest of records on this surface. Her best Wimbledon performance has been a third round in 2022. Zheng has lost in the first round there for the past two years.
If Zheng can win this match, it'll take the 22-year-old into her first ever grass court quarter-final. That would see her playing either Emma Raducanu or Rebecca Sramkova who also play on Thursday.
McCartney Kessler defeated Francesca Jones in her first round match. That was won in straight sets with only six games lost. The American is a career-high 42nd in the live rankings.
This year has seen her win one title in Hobart and be the losing finalist in Austrin, both tournaments played on hard courts. On grass, Kessler has won five of her eight matches. Last year saw her win four matches but all in qualifiers.
We tip Zheng to win with over 20.5 games played.

Our Qinwen Zheng vs McCartney Kessler Prediction
Qinwen Zheng is the top seed for this tournament but not the favorite to win it. Both Rybakina and Keys are ahead of her in the betting and that's because of her less than impressive grass court record.
The top seed should be able to defeat McCartney Kessler who hasn't achieved a great deal on this surface either. It could be close though and our Qinwen Zheng v McCartney Kessler prediction is Qinwen Zheng to win and over 20.5 games to be played.
Prediction :
Qinwen Zheng to win and over 20.5 games played
