Zhu Lin vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich prediction
Aliaksandra Sasnovich will hope to have too much for Lin Zhu in a clash of two players battling their way back after spells out.
The Chinese world number 307 has been predominantly playing at a lower tier in recent months after missing the majority of the back-end of last season.
Sasnovich has also been struggling to make a main draw impact at the big events this year, but is a former semi-finalist at S’Hertogenbosch while Zhu made the last four in Birmingham two years ago.
It's clear both players have pedigree when it comes to the turf so it depends which one can get on top in a contest between a duo not quite at the level they would like; don't be surprised to see it go the distance.
Zhu Lin vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich tip: Over 2.5 sets
