Vera Zvonareva vs Victoria Mboko prediction

Victoria Mboko was rock solid as she powered to a straight sets win over Marie Bouzkova in Qatar.

The Canadian took control right at the end of the opener before pulling clear to post a 7-6 6-2 victory over the tricky Czech.

Next up, the 19-year-old meets Vera Zvonareva after the 41-year-old set a battle of the generations courtesy of a shock 2-6 6-2 6-3 triumph over Peyton Stearns.

It’s good to see the former US Open and Wimbledon finalist back playing some excellent tennis on the big stage, but another scalp here is going to be unlikely.

Mboko has a maturity and calm beyond her years and experience won’t be a useful weapon against her.

The tenth seed has all the firepower and that will prove too much for the veteran Russian in the end.
