Victoria Kasintseva is coming off a hard fought second round tie and will hope to have enough left in the tank for this fixture. The Mexican battled from a set down to defeat eighth seed Magda Linette in three sets.

With five wins from nine outings, the 20-year-old has shot up a massive 26 places to 96th in the live ranking.

Our Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva vs Shuai Zhang Prediction
Our prediction for Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva v Shuai Zhang is for the exact score: 0-2. Kasintseva and Zhang are having strong weeks as they are unbeaten with four wins each. One player, though, will get to advance, and we feel Zhang will be the player to do so.
The Chinese athlete is a hard-court specialist and is the more experienced player with three tour titles. Aside from lacking tour experience, Kasintseva has spent considerably more time on the courts in Merida than Zhang. She, therefore, might be more jaded than her opponent.
