Qinwen Zheng vs Sofia Kenin prediction
Qinwen Zheng returns to court for the first time in 2026 having lost her place in the top ten.
The world number 26 has not featured since September and will be keen to put together a good run here despite a lack of match action.
First up, it’s a second career clash with Sofia Kenin, who is low on confidence after winning just one of her last five matches.
Zheng won 7-6 6-3 in Tokyo two years ago and if she finds the big first serve consistently enough she should have too much firepower.
Qinwen Zheng vs Sofia Kenin tip: Qinwen Zheng to win 2-0
