Our Alina Charaeva vs Qinwen Zheng Prediction
Key Stats: Charaeva has converted 51.3 percent of 39 break chances at the China Open.
What to Expect: Buoyed by her recent success, Charaeva puts on another strong showing against Zheng to shield her +3.5-game cushion. Zheng is known for her massive first serves, but if Charaeva can neutralize it the way she did against Rybakina, she has a big chance to turn this into an intriguing matchup.
It would be difficult for Charaeva to gut out an outright win over Zheng, given the Chinese’s surging form and the pressure of playing in hostile territory. Regardless, Charaeva seems like a solid bet to give Zheng another acid test in Beijing.
Fearless Forecast: Zheng Qinwen wins 4-6, 6-4, 7-5
Our betting prediction for Zheng Qinwen vs. Alina Charaeva: Alina Charaeva +3.5 games
