Cori Gauff v Lin Zhu Head to Head
Gauff and Zhu have never faced off in a competitive match before this.

Gauff Eases Past Kenin
It did not take too long for Gauff to carve out a win over former Grand Slam winner Sofia Kenin and seal her place in the last eight of the tournament.
Having cruised to a 6-4, 6-1 win over Tatjana Maria in her opening round, Gauff was tested a tad more by Kenin before coming through in straight sets. She won 6-4, 6-4 in an hour and 25 minutes.
Gauff got herself an early break of serve, breaking Kenin in the fourth game but then lost her own serve as she served for the first set at 5-3. Fortunately for Gauff that lapse in focus didn’t cost her too much as she broke right back to take the lead.
In the second, things went to serve till the ninth game before Gauff managed to save three game-points on her opponent’s serve in the 1oth game before breaking her and winning the match.
The top seeded Gauff looks to be in the form of her life and should not have too many difficulties here.

Zhu Ends Venus’ Run with Scratchy Win
Zhu was the favourite going into her second round match against the American veteran Venus Williams but made heavy weather of the victory.
The Chinese player needed to come back from a set down and needed nearly two and a half hours for her 3-6, 6-2, 7-5 win over Williams.
In a match where both players faced 14 break-points, it was Zhu’s eight breaks of serves that tipped the scales in her favour, as Williams managed only six.
In fact, stats-wise too, there wasn’t too much to choose between the two players, with both winning the same percentage of second serve points and Zhu claiming 60% of the first serve ones to her opponent’s 54%.
Venus was twice up a break in the decider and served for the match at 5-4 only for Zhu to come back with two breaks of serve.
Things might not remain as easy in this last eight encounter for Zhu.
Gauff v Zhu Prediction and Tip
Gauff will hope to continue in the same vein as she hunts for a place in the semifinal. A straight-set win looks to be the likely result but we also think Zhu might give her opponent a fight in one of the sets.
