In this match, Lin Zhu and Ekaterina Alexandrova will meet at the tournament in Cleveland. Zhu is showing excellent form and has great tennis before the US Open. She confidently dealt with Caroline Garcia in the previous match and closed out her opponents quickly in previous games. Judging by her last game, Alexandrova looked off and made many mistakes. Based on the statistics and performances of both players, Lin Zhu is the preferred choice. She is in good form and has better defense, which can be an advantage for her in this match. It is likely that Alexandrova may be more focused on her upcoming match at the US Open against Fernandez and may need more time to prepare. Therefore, Lin Zhu has a chance to win this match.
In this match, Zhu came out victorious thanks to not facing strong opponents such as Blinkova, Grabar, and Garcia, who could have provided serious resistance. However, Alexandrova, who has a powerful first serve, could pose a challenge for her. Although the Russian has a tendency to make errors, she plays more aggressively and can put pressure on the Chinese player. The Chinese player will likely show weakness under Alexandrova's pressure, but she won't give up without a fight. The factors of experience and the desire to win the title could be the main arguments in Alexandrova's favor. We predict a victory for Ekaterina Alexandrova (P2) in this match.
