Emma Raducanu vs Lin Zhu prediction
Emma Raducanu returns to action for the first time since retiring in difficult conditions in Wuhan.
The Brit has lost three of her last four but has been on an upward trajectory in recent months.
The world number 29 will hope to get back on track against Chinese wildcard Lin Zhu, who is a former world number 31 and has way more quality than her current ranking of 219 suggests.
This will be a first meeting and Zhu will have the crowd behind her, but she has also managed just five tour-level wins this year and if Raducanu finds her rhythm she should have enough to prevail and tee up a tasty clash with top seed Mirra Andreeva.
