Lin Zhu vs Elsa Jacquemot prediction
Lin Zhu lost a close three set match against Lucia Bronzetti at the Cincinnati Open, her most recent event in the lead up to this. This would have been a disappointment for the Chinese after her best tournament in a while in Montreal a week earlier, as she won three matches in a row before a loss to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the round-of-16.
Elsa Jacquemot enters the main draw as a qualifier after wins over Saisai Zheng and Jessica Failla. The 22-year-old was unable to do the same in Cincinnati after a straight sets loss to Viktoriya Tomova in the second stage of qualifying. Her best form has been on clay this season and she is without a hard court victory on the WTA in 2025.
Zhu has performed steadily during her comeback season but her run at the Canadian Open showed just how strong a player she can be in the right conditions. If she can recapture that level, she should have too much for Jacquemot.
