Lin Zhu vs Maya Joint prediction
Lin Zhu competed in Beijing, winning her first-round match with ease against Moyuka Uchijima but then coming unstuck against world number five Mirra Andreeva as she lost 6-2 6-2. It’s been an injury hit season for the 31-year-old, who did reach the round-of-16 at the Canadian Open, which stands as her best result on the WTA Tour this season.
Maya Joint is her opponent in the first-round. Joint has enjoyed a breakthrough season with the first two titles of her career in Eastbourne and Rabat, while she also reached two other WTA semi-finals. She threatened to make her first true breakthrough at a 1000 event after two straight set victories got her through to round three at the China Open, but she then surprisingly lost in straight sets to Sonay Kartal.
This will be their first match against each other at tour-level, but they did face each other in Singapore Open qualifying earlier in the season, with Zhu having to retire in the third set. Joint will look to end the season strongly and is expected to win this one.
Lin Zhu vs Maya Joint tip: Maya Joint to win 2-0
