Qinwen Zheng vs Lauren Davis Prediction

After first round exits at both the ATX Open and Indian Wells, Lauren Davis will have been delighted to have come through a three-setter against Aoi Ito of Japan in her first Miami match-up, winning 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. Her prize is a big one, with China’s Qinwen Zheng lying in wait. Currently in the world’s top ten, the 22-year-old remains one of the most exciting young players in Tennis.

Zheng’s excellent baseline game gives her a big advantage on the hard court, where powerful and accurate groundstroke play is often rewarded. Having also improved her backhand over the past 12 months, it’s exciting to see how fast Zheng is developing and the sky really is the limit for the Chinese star.

Following a last eight finish at Indian Wells, Zheng will want to follow that up with a strong performance in this competition and should get off to an ideal start with a two-set win.
