LiontipsZheng Jingwen vs Donna Vekic. Olympic Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
After Wimbledon, Zheng Jingwen played one clay court tournament in Palermo. The Chinese tennis player won that competition for the second year in a row and clearly brought herself to the Olympics in excellent shape. In the two opening rounds, the world's seventh racket had no problems with Errani and Rus. In the third round, she managed to break Navarro's resistance only in three sets (6-7, 7-6, 6-1). The most difficult match for Zheng Jingwen was the quarterfinal match against Kerber, when she snatched victory only in the decisive tie-break (6-7, 6-4, 7-6). It seemed that the Chinese player had no strength left for the semifinal against Swiatek, but she managed to make a big splash (6-2, 7-5), played very aggressively and boldly, which brought success.
Vekic was remembered for her Wimbledon semifinal this year. That success obviously gave the Croatian tennis player confidence in her own strength. On the way to the final in Paris, she lost only one set. It happened in the quarterfinal battle with Kostyuk (6-4, 2-6, 7-6). In the confrontations with Bronzetti, Andreescu, Gauff and Schmiedlova, victories were recorded with an exact score of 2-0 in sets. It is obvious that Donna spent less energy on the way to the decisive match than her opponent.

Zheng Jingwen is ranked higher, defeated the world's number one in the semi-finals and is the favorite today, according to bookmakers. However, we would not underestimate Vekic . The Croatian tennis player went through a difficult tournament grid, expending less energy than the Chinese. In addition, Donna is capable of playing no less aggressively than Zheng Jingwen, and it is far from certain that the world's number seven will withstand her onslaught. We believe that the chances of winning the Olympic gold in this pair are largely equal.
