Zhang Overcomes Doubles Specialist
Zhang got her campaign in Lyon off to a winning start by beating the local woman, Kristina Mladenovic, nowadays better known for her exploits in doubles.
However, she did not have things all her own way in a match that began with three successive breaks of serve, with Mladenovic holding the advantage, only to be broken again to get the set back on serve.
The Chinese woman was broken again, giving Mladenovic the chance to serve for the set, but she could not take it, and it meant a tie-break.
Zhang then had two set points saved, but made the third one count.
Again, it was the Frenchwoman who was the first to break in the second set only to immediately squander the opportunity she had created for herself.
She then had a set point to level the match, could not take it, and paid for that when she was broken again next game.
Zhang was able to serve out.

Rus Breezes into the Second Round
Rus, who is the defending doubles champion in Lyon, was handed a tough looking first round draw against Danka Kovinic of Montenegro, a woman ranked currently just seven places below her.
In the end, though, it was an easy day’s work for the Dutch number one.
After the first two games were shared, Rus got an early break to love, and consolidated that with another break in Kovinic’s next service game.
The Montenegrin would only win one more game after that, with Rus taking the second set to love.
The match was over in just over an hour.
Zhang v Rus Prediction and Tip
Zhang may be the seed of the pair but, judging on their relative first round performances, Rus is in the better form of the pair, and she did win their previous meeting, although that was on clay.
Tip: Rus to win: 8/13 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
