THE PREDICTION
World number 39 Lin Zhu became the latest player to upset Magda Linette on tour, conceding just three games to the third seed in an impressive performance on Wednesday. The 29-year-old beat Nottingham Open champion Katie Boulter on Tuesday to look ready for action here in Birmingham and she should be considered the favourite in this quarter-final clash with world number 90 Rebecca Marino in this, remarkably, fourth meeting between the pair this season. 32-year-old Marino overcame Emina Bektas in her customary three sets, backing up a similar result over Xiyu Wang on Wednesday, as one of the tour’s renowned scrappers and taking this match to see three sets seems a reasonable way to avoid picking a winner. Otherwise, Lin Zhu leads their head-to-head 2-1 at tour level after wins in Melbourne and Monterrey whilst Marino took their most recent clash in Madrid on clay, suggesting the Chinese should edge through in faster conditions.
