Dayana Yastremska vs Shuai Zhang prediction
Dayana Yastremska has lost seven of her 11 matches in 2026 and is currently on a three-match losing run. Her last win came in the first-round of the Qatar Open as she battled her way past Cristina Bucsa. However, she lost in the next stage of the competition to Elina Svitolina and followed that up with losses in Dubai and Merida to Janice Tjen and Marina Stakusic respectively.
Shuai Zhang also struggled in terms of results up to just over a week ago, as she had suffered early exits in Adelaide, Melbourne, Doha and Dubai. However, the veteran suddenly found form at the Merida Open last week as she made a run from qualifying to the semi-finals. This included a win over Emma Navarro in round two. The Chinese player was close to making the final but lost to Magdalena Frech in three sets.
Zhang will be hoping to carry on the momentum with a win over a struggling Yastremska.
