Cristina Bucsa vs Qinwen Zheng prediction

Qinwen Zheng hit the comeback trail to see off Anna Bondar in Rome.

The Chinese star claimed a 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory over the Hungarian and will now meet 30th seed Cristina Bucsa. 

The Spaniard won the title in Merida recently but has lost her last three matches and is featuring in just her second outing on clay.

This surface should suit Cristina but given world number 32 Zheng’s pedigree, it’s a good shout to back the mini rankings upset here.
