China won their opening match in Group B of the United Cup and now take on Canada. Lin Zhu faces a tough match against Canada's Victoria Mbokoko. Can China get a win over the Canadians and reach the last eight? Time for our match prediction.
China's opening match produced a 2-1 win over Belgium. It was a day of mixed results for Zhu who only won four games in her women's singles match against Elise Mertens. It got better as she was one half of the mixed doubles team that secured the victory for China.
The world number 168 won two titles last year but on lower level circuits. Her best run on the WTA Tour was a quarter-final in Ningbo but failed to get past round one of any of last year's Grand Slam events.
2025 was a great year for Victoria Mboko, rising to a career-high 18th. The 19-year-old won 47 of her 55 hard court matches last year. Five lower level tournaments were won but the Canadian also had some great results on the WTA Tour.
Titles were won in Montreal and Hong Kong and her last seven matches have been won.
We tip Mboko to win in straight sets.
