THE PREDICTION

35-year0old Shuai Zhang’s record-breaking search for win continues, with her last victory on tour coming at the Lyon Open back in 2023. The Chinese made it 19 losses on the spin at the Miami Open last month, albeit in three sets for the second match in a row, but she has been rebuilding some confidence in doubles since to make this 20th match a big occasion. Former number 30 Shelby Rogers is also aiming to repair her ranking after her latest injury ended her season early last summer and she has won the first match in each of her last two tournaments to look the favourite here. Former number 22 Zhang will probably receive more of the support as her plight continues but back Rogers, who is possibly at her most effective on clay, to reach the next round.

TIP: SHELBY ROGERS TO WIN
