Shuai Zhang vs Alexandra Eala prediction
Shuai Zhang qualified for this event, as she defeated Heather Watson in the final round. Despite making it through to the quarter-finals in Strasbourg on the eve of the tournament, the Chinese player fell to a first-round defeat at Roland Garros after losing to Ann Li in straight sets. Her best result of the season was a run to the semi-finals in Merida.
She takes on Alexandra Eala in the first-round. The Filipino lost her round one match at Roland Garros to Iva Jovic, but she got her grass court season off to the perfect start last week as she won the WTA 125 title in Birmingham. Eala had already shown signs of being dangerous on grass, as she progressed to the final in Eastbourne last year. A strong performance this week could see her break into the top 30 of the world rankings.
It’s going to be a quick turnaround for Eala, but she has momentum on her side after her most recent showing.
