THE PREDICTION
Super-consistent Shuai Zhang handed lucky loser Misaki Doi a second-set bagel on Monday in a comfortable victory, all the more impressive as she would have been gearing up to face Elena Rybakina. The 33-year-old reached the Singles and Women’s Doubles finals of the Birmingham Classic earlier this month before an injury saw her pull out of both but she claimed the third WTA title of her career earlier this year at the Lyon Open. World number 76 Marta Kostyuk came back from a set down to beat Katie Swan in the first round, backing up a strong run at the Eastbourne International last week in which she beat Viktorija Golubic and Barbora Krejcikova. The 20-year-old has the higher-ceiling of the two players at either ends of their careers but Shuai Zhang is well capable of getting back enough extra balls to frustrate her opponent to defeat here. Kostyuk beat the Chinese star in three sets last season at Indian Wells and taking the powerful Ukrainian to win at least one here seems the sensible compromise in what could be an exciting battle.
