THE PREDICTION
World number seven Qinwen Zheng conceded just two games to Shelby Rogers on Thursday, bouncing back from having to retire injured from the second round of the Madrid Open last time out. The 21-year-old changed the course of her young career forever by finishing runner-up to Aryna Sabalenka at the Australian Open in January but it will take some time for her to fully recalibrate on tour.
World number 29 Linda Noskova also enjoyed a transformative run in Melbourne, stunning world number one Iga Swiatek in three sets before a quarter-final exit to Dayana Yastremska. The 19-year-old beat wildcard Lucrezia Stefanini in straight sets on Thursday but recent exits to Mirra Andreeva and Emma Raducanu have exposed some room to improve on clay. Back Zheng, who is excellent in these conditions at her best, to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
