Command Analysis

McCartney Kessler

Kessler played her first official matches on grass only a year ago, and won four of her seven matches back then. She is playing well on this surface this season. Last week in London, the American went through one round, after which she lost in a hard fight to Zheng Jingwen (3-6, 6-4, 5-7). In Nottingham, McCartney kicked off with a difficult victory over Haddad Maya (7-5, 6-7, 7-5).

Lin Zhu

On the eve of the start in Nottingham, it was a complete mystery how ready Lin Zhu was to perform on grass. The thing is that the Chinese tennis player completely skipped the clay part of the season, played almost only at not the most prestigious hard tournaments. As the match against Sosnovich showed, Lin Zhu's current form is in full order (6-4, 6-1).

Lin Zhu showed in her match against Sosnovich that she was well prepared for the grass season. The Chinese tennis player worked reliably on the back line in that meeting, was not afraid to take the initiative in the draws and made a minimum number of unforced errors. In the only face-to-face meeting, Lin Zhu lost to Kessler, but in a tight fight in three sets. We believe that today we should expect a largely equal game.
Our prediction is that Lin Zhu will win the game with a handicap (+4.5) with a coefficient of 1.87
