Belinda Bencic, the 16th seed at the US Open, has the opportunity to avenge her 2013 loss to Shuai Zhang. These two clash in the first round for their second career meeting, the winner drawn to face Ann Li or Rebecca Sramkova. We have a prediction for this match below.
Zhang had a good run in the qualifiers, winning all three matches in straight sets. Age may no longer be on her side, but the 36-year-old’s performance in qualification will raise her hopes.
She is coming off nine wins in her last 10 matches and won the ITF titles in Gifu and Nottingham. Her best at a major this season was the second round at the Australian Open, and she comes here placed 113th in the live rank.
The semi-final run at Wimbledon was one of Bencic’s top moments in the season since returning from maternity break. She also bagged the title in Abu Dhabi and has only suffered two first-round losses.
However, not all has been rosy for the Swiss. She is coming from a loss in her opening round clash at Cincinnati and earlier in the season was forced to miss the French Open.
Her title in Abu Dhabi and quarter-final run in Indian Wells are proof of her comfort on hard courts. Three losses in her last four games will not inspire a lot of confidence, though. Bencic is 19th in the live rankings.

Our Shuai Zhang vs Belinda Bencic Prediction
Bencic has her focus on avenging that 2013 defeat, and her 19-8 record on hard courts will back her ambition well. She’s been to a Grand Slam semi-final this season and comes here with a solid record at the US Open, at 21-8.
Age may also work in her favor though she is facing an opponent on a good run. Zhang leads in the head-to-head numbers, but we can bet their 2013 meeting will have no impact here. She may, however, push Bencic all the way. Our prediction for Shuai Zhang v Belinda Bencic is for Zhang to win a set.
