Fruhvirtova and Zhu have never faced off before this.

Fruhvirtova 2-2 on Clay This Season

Fruhvirtova had surprised the tennis world by reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open this season which included a win over Marketa Vondrousova.

Later in the season, Fruhvirtova would go on to shock Danielle Collins at Dubai and overcome Jil Teichmann at Charleston but has found it difficult to string together two wins in a row.

In fact, since that Australian Open showing, Fruhvirtova has won five of the next 11 main draw matches without winning two in a row.

More recently in Madrid, Fruhvirtova was a straight-set win over Katie Volynets in the opening round before falling to a 6-0, 6-3 defeat to Jelena Ostapenko.

Can she register her first ever win in Rome in what is her debut here?

Zhu on a Four-Match Losing Streak

While Zhu, like Fruhvirtova, has had a breakaway season, her performances in recent times have left a lot to desire. The Czech player has fallen to four successive defeats since reaching the semifinal of the Monterrey Open and has not won even a set.

Donna Vekic, Lesia Tsurenko and Karolina Muchova got the better of Zhu in hardcourt competitions while Rebecca Marino edged past her on the clay courts of Madrid.

Zhu, who had reached the fourth round of the Australian Open earlier this season and then went on to win the title at Hua Hin, has a below-par career record on clay. Across all levels of competitions, Zhu has played just 51 matches on dirt and won a mere 25 of them.

Can she put up some resistance to Fruhvirtova?

Fruhvirtova v Zhu Prediction and Tip

We think Fruhvirtova has a better track on clay despite been just 16 years of age and we will have to go with her win here.

Tips:

  • Low Risk Tip: Fruhvirtova to win: 8/11
  • Moderate Risk Tip: Over 20.5 games in the match: 5/6

Fan of all sports but a tennis lover at heart. Bawled her heart out when Federer missed those two Championships points at Wimbledon 2019 but then again, Nadal won 2022 Australian Open from two sets down. Such is life! (yes, loves both Federer and Nadal in equal doses!)
