Alexandra Eala vs Qinwen Zheng prediction
Rising star Alexandra Eala takes on Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng in an eye-catching first round clash in Washington.
The Filipina is currently in and around a career high inside the top 30 after making a big impression at Wimbledon.
Zheng continues to search for consistency since injury but is still a tougher proposition than her ranking of 123 suggests.
Qinwen triumphed in three sets in their only previous clash in the last four at the Asian Games in 2023.
This could also go the distance but this time we feel Eala may have the answers in the big moments.
Alexandra Eala vs Qinwen Zheng tip: Over 2.5 sets
