THE PREDICTION

World number seven changed the course of her career with a stunning run to the Australian Open final, where she lost in straight sets to defending champion Aryna Sabalenka. The 21-year-old reached the quarter-finals at the Qatar Masters before defeat to Iga Swiatek but she suffered an immediate exit to in-form compatriot Yue Yuan at Indian Wells last time out to suggest she is still recalibrating from a career milestone. World number 42 Katerina Siniakova beat Ana Bogdan in straight sets on Tuesday to continue her solid recent form and she will back herself to cause the upset here after beating Zheng in straight sets in their only previous encounter at Wimbledon last summer. Hardcourt conditions certainly favour the Chinese number one here but it could be some time before she looks steady on court. The suitably cautious call is backing Zheng to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
