Our Marie Bouzkova vs Anastasia Zakharova Prediction
Key Stats: Anastasia Zakharova has been broken 7 times in the qualifying rounds in Ningbo. Bouzkova broke Kudermetova’s serves 6 times in their first-round match.
What to Expect: Unless Zakharova comes through with a spirited challenge, Bouzkova should win this match pretty easily. Bouzkova’s elite return position makes her a tough foe for Zakharova, who is winning only 58.1 percent of her first-serve points and 45.8 percent of her second-serve points in hard court matches this year.
