One of the more interesting first-round matches due to take place at the WTA Miami Open on Tuesday is the one between Shuai Zhang and Sorana Cirstea. This is an interesting match primarily because the Romanian player is seen as the hot favorite, though does she really warrant such strong support? She was playing well in Indian Wells before exiting at the hands of Linda Noskova last week, but her record against her Chinese opponent is far from promising, with her losing four of the previous five renewals of this match.
Zheng comes into this battle off the back of losses against Frech and Yastremska but she's recently beaten some good players too, while she ought to be uplifted by the fact that she's going up against an opponent that she knows well, an opponent that she knows she can beat. An intriguing match awaits.

Our Shuai Zhang vs Sorana Cirstea Prediction
A quick glance at the early betting tells us that Sorana Cirstea is expected to make light work of seeing off Shuai Zhang, but I'm really not convinced that the Romanian will be as comfortable as the early betting suggests. Sure. the Chinese player doesn't arrive in hot form, losing her last two, but she was playing well before those defeats, beating players such as Emma Navarro in Mexico, so do not be surprised if she gets competitive here.
Let's be honest, Zhang has a great record against Cirstea, winning four of the previous five renewals of this match, while she's never lost to her higher-ranked opponent in straight sets. Given the odds on offer, I simply cannot ignore this fact. Take the value and bet on Zhang to avoid a straight-set defeat.
Our Shuai Zhang vs Sorana Cirstea Pick: Shuai Zhang +1.5 Set Handicap.
