THE PREDICTION

29-year-old Lin Zhu enjoyed the for of her career this time last season, stunning Maria Sakkari in three sets to reach the round of 16 and taking the first against two-time Australian open champion Victoria Azarenka before defeat. The world number 32 went on to pick up her maiden WTA title at the Hua Hin Championships before a drier spell but she beat Azarenka en-route to the third round of the US Open later last year before finishing runner-up at the Osaka Open. Zhu reached the quarter-finals of the Hobart International last week to build on an impressive victory over Danielle Collins in Brisbane and this is a kind opener against world number 95 Oceane Dodin, who has not won a tour-level match since Roland-Garros last summer. Back the Chinese to win in straight sets.

TIP: LIN ZHU TO WIN 2-0
