Qinwen Zheng vs Clara Tauson prediction
Qinwen Zheng battled her way through to the next round at the Bad Homburg Open as she beat Solana Sierra in three sets. The 2024 Olympic champion was broken when serving for the match, but she subsequently broke Sierra’s serve in the next service game to seal a 7-5 4-6 6-4 victory after two hours and 23 minutes. She won 85% of her points on first serve.
Zheng now faces Clara Tauson for a place in the last eight. The Dane ended a run of seven matches without a win as she defeated Diana Shnaider in straight sets. Shnaider is a former champion at the event, but she struggled on serve as Tauson won 6-4 6-4.
Tauson will enter this match with renewed confidence after ending her losing run, and she can be a threat on grass with her powerful game. Nevertheless, Zheng can also trouble her opponents with her aggressive first-strike style. This has all the ingredients of a closely contested match that could go the distance.
