THE PREDICTION

World number 72 Diana Shnaider took the first set against in-form veteran Vera Zvonareva before her compatriot was forced to retire injured on Wednesday. A straight-sets opener over Lin Zhu suggests Shnaider is ready to be very competitive at the Nanchang Open as she targets a second tour final less than a month after finishing runner-up to Ons Jabeur in her first in Ningbo. World number 93 Nao Hibino went one better with victory, out of nowhere, at the Prague Open in August, but she had failed to win a match on tour since then until her remarkable upset over top seed Beatriz Haddad-Maia on Tuesday. 28-year-old Hibino should receive the majority of the support as the Asian player here but Shnaider is a very exciting young talent who should inspire some support of her own. Back the powerful Russian to edge through this first meeting outright.
