IGA SWIATEK VS QINWEN ZHENG PREDICTION

Qinwen Zheng must be running on adrenaline after an exhausting but truly exhilarating three-set triumph over three-time Grand Slam winner and former Olympic silver medalist Angelique Kerber, which saw Zheng win the deciding tie-breaker by eight points to six. The world number seven has now won 18 of her last 21 sets of singles Tennis.

However, Iga Swiatek at Roland-Garros remains arguably the toughest opponent a player can face in a women’s singles match on the calendar, when taking into account her sheet brilliance on clay and at this venue. The four-time French Open champion should be significantly fresher than Zheng having contested less games across the quarter-finals and her class should tell in the end. Back the Pole to book her place in the gold medal match on Saturday.
