Lin Zhu vs Suzan Lamens prediction
Lin Zhu is coming off a battling 1-6 6-2 6-4 win over 12th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova where she showed great heart and determination in fighting back from losing the first set.
The Chinese 31-year-old is enjoying arguably the best season of her career to date and she can take plenty of confidence after winning her first matches at the Canadian Open main draw this year.
She now takes on Suzan Lamens who can be just as positive coming into this one after she also had a three-set thriller against a seeded opponent in Beatriz Haddad Maia.
That came after another three-setter against Polina Kudermetova in the first round so it will be interesting to see if these lengthy matches take a toll on her.
She is typically more familiar to clay courts but she is enjoying her time in Montreal so far.
We can see another tight match here but our preference is with Lin Zhu. We are slightly surprised she is the underdog here and given the fact she is the better player on hard courts, we lean towards her to get the win.
