THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Donna Vekic is playing well in Italy so far this week and the Croat will face her third-successive Chinese opponent in Xinyu Wang after taking out Qinwen Zheng and Saisai Zheng in straight sets. The world number 97 has been as high as 19th in the WTA world rankings back in 2019 but she has not won a title since 2017’s Nottingham Open as she continues to seek out more consistency in her game. Capable of beating anyone one her day, she faces a bright young prospect in 20-year-old Xinyu Wang. The Chinese youngster is beginning to challenge the second halves of tournaments and she too is yet to drop a set in strong wins this week, beating the eighth seed Shuai Zhang on Thursday, This first meeting between the two should fall Vekic’s way on experience but Wang is up to her career-high 110th in the world on merit and she is clearly only going in one direction. Take Vekic to win at least a set here as the likelier of two capable winners.
