THE PREDICTION
27-year-old Jasmine Paolini will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 30th after a straight-sets victory over Laura Siegemund on Friday, backing up a huge upset over sixth seed Caroline Garcia. The Italian will be eager to avenge her defeat on home soil to Qinwen Zheng in the final of the Palermo Ladies Open in July, with the show on the other foot here in Zhengzhou against the Chinese number one. World number 24 Zheng looks the reasonable favourite, though, after a solid victory over Anhelina Kalinina on Friday backed up a hugely impressive result over third seed Maria Sakkari. The 21-year-old will be backed to the hilt in Zhengzhou and her recent Gold Medal at the Asian Games suggests she will thrive under the pressure of reaching a first final at home. Back Zheng to win outright with three sets about as likely as two.
