In Beijing, where there's a very decent WTA event taking place this week, we've reached the quarter finals. On Friday, during the early hours for those in the US, Qinwen Zheng and Elina Svitolina will clash. This is a match between the world number 54 and the world number seven, and really, the world number seven should be winning this, especially as she's defeated some very good competitors in straight sets to reach this stage.
Even though she's playing on home soil, Qinwen Zheng does not quite deserve to be priced at +125 to win this match. Really, the Chinese player should be a larger underdog. At the same time, Elina Svitolina, who has looked in very good form this week, should be a stronger favorite. Taking the Ukrainian player to win at odds of -149 offers some all-important value for money.

Our Qinwen Zheng vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
The market really does seem to have got this wrong at the time of writing. All the evidence suggests that Elina Svitolina should be a much stronger favorite than odds of -149 would have us believe. The world number seven has looked sharp this week, and her efforts against lower-ranked players are very hard to ignore. The way in which she's already brushed aside Ann Li and Maria Sakkari points towards her reaching the semi-finals without too much of a fuss.
