Zhang Battles Past Sixteenth Seed
Although teenager Zhang is making her US Open debut, she has already made her mark in all three Grand Slams this year, and went as far as the fourth round in Paris.
She was given a tough opening round draw though, against the Latvian Jelena Ostapenko, the number 16 seed, but proved that she was up to the test with a fighting display.
The match began with the pair exchanging early breaks, before Zhang broke once more, putting her in a position to win the first set.
Again the pair exchanged breaks midway through the second set, but, this time, it was Zhang who cracked first, dropped her serve again, enabling Ostapenko to level the match.
The Latvian began the third set badly by dropping her serve again, but then a sequence of three games against serve meant it was all-square once more.
Just, though, when it looked like the match might be heading for a tie-break decider, came the pivotal moment. Ostapenko, serving to stay in the match, faltered at the wrong time, offered up Zhang two match points, the second of which she took.

Potapova Ends New York Hoodoo
Potapova has broken her New York hoodoo, by winning for the first time in her third attempt.
In truth, she was barely troubled by the American Claire Liu, the world number 82, in their first round match.
Having held serve, Potapova broke Liu in her opening service game, and then broke her once more as she cruised through the first set.
Lui did offer more resistance in the second set, and had break opportunities of her own, but she could not take any of them and paid for it when she was broken once more.
Potapova served out next game.
Zhang v Potapova Prediction and Tip
Neither woman has appeared in the second round of the US Open before, so this is new territory for both of them. However, Zhang is a rising teenage star and has already proved her ability to compete in Grand Slam events this year. She will begin the marginal favourite.
Tip: Zhang to win: 4/5 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
