Our Xinyu Wang vs Francesca Jones Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Xinyu Wang hacks out a three-set win over Francesca Jones.
Reasoning: Wang seems to have a huge wave of momentum coming into the quarterfinals, but so does Jones, who dispatched the No.1 seed in the first round. It has been almost 9 years since these two played each other at the 2017 Junior Wimbledon Open. Wang won that match in three sets, and we may see a similar result with the Chinese grinding out a tough three-set win over Jones. Make no mistake. Jones will give Wang her toughest match in this tournament so far. She will create a lot of problems for Wang, especially if that backhand shot keeps finding the line.
Our betting prediction for Francesca Jones vs. Wang Xinyu: Francesca Jones Over 10.5 Games
