THE PREDICTION
World number seven Caroline Garcia beat Peyton Stearns in straight sets on Tuesday to reach the quarter-finals in Cleveland without dropping a set but the Frenchwoman is still far from her ruthless best from this time last season. The 29-year-old stands to lose a lot of ranking points if she cannot at least emulate her huge run to the semi-finals of the US Open last summer but a recent four-match losing streak snapped this week suggests she will struggle to make the second week. World number 48 Lin Zhu has conceded just eight games so far in victories over Anna Blinkova and Julia Grabher but this will be her toughest test yet. The Chinese, also 29, found the form of her career at the start of this year in a run to the round of 16 at the Australian Open and a maiden title win at the Hua Hin Championships. Garcia and Zhu last met almost a decade ago but this first tour-level meeting looks likely to need a decider. Back top seed Garcia to earn at least a set or take the alternative for Zhu in a reasonable risk.
