LiontipsZheng Jingwen vs Donna Vekic. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Zheng Jingwen had a hard time switching to hard after her victory at the Olympics. In Cincinnati, she lost to Pavlyuchenkova in the 1/8 finals, and at the US Open, in her first two matches, she only managed to break the resistance of Amanda Anisimova and Erika Andreeva in three sets. At the same time, in the third round, Zheng Jingwen easily beat Niemeyer (6-2, 6-1).
Professional qualities
The Chinese tennis player is distinguished by her endurance, speed, and is ready to hit a powerful shot to any point on the court at any moment. Let's note her good first serve, while the second one does not carry any particular threat.
Current indicators in the tour
Zheng Jingwen is having the most successful season of her career, currently sitting at seventh place in the world rankings. On hard courts, she has an impressive 16 wins and seven losses. However, she has no titles on this surface this year.
Interesting facts for betting
- In two of her three matches in New York, Zheng Jingwen gave up sets to her opponents
Current form
Vekic played poorly in Cincinnati on the way to the US Open, losing to Krueger in the first round. However, in New York, the Croatian tennis player does not allow herself such misfires. She won three matches with an exact score of 2-0 in sets. Her opponents were Birrell, Minnen and Stearns. Ahead is a more serious opponent, to whom, let us recall, Donna lost in the Olympic final (2-6, 3-6).
Professional qualities
The Croatian tennis player often relies on her powerful serve and strong forehand, trying to finish rallies quickly, in one or two hits. However, she lacks consistency.
Current indicators in the tour
In the first half of the season, Vekic did not have any special achievements on the tour, but after switching to grass, she noticeably improved and is not slowing down. On hard, she has a rather modest 10 wins and seven losses since the beginning of the year.

This is the scenario that unfolded in the two previous face-to-face matches.
2.25Tip and bets
Undoubtedly, Vekic will be determined to take revenge for the lost Olympic final, but it will be difficult to do. Zheng Jingwen has gradually become more active on hard courts, and she knows how to tactically and competently adapt to the playing style of any tennis player. It is precisely due to her variability that the Chinese tennis player is capable of upsetting Donna once again.
Our prediction is Zheng Jingwen's victory with odds of 1.53
Bet on total
On hard courts, we don't expect a complete rout from Zheng Jingwen. However, on fast surfaces, Vekic's serve is very effective and it's not that easy to deal with her.
The second bet is total over 21 games for 1.70

It should be noted that in the last four matches of Vekic, the most intense struggle unfolded in the opening set and more than nine games were played. It is highly likely that today's game will follow the same scenario.
