Prediction Of Rakhimova Vs Zheng H2H, Who Will Win At ATP China Open 2024?

What Time Will Kamilla Rakhimova Play Against Qinwen Zheng?

Rakhimova and Zheng are on the Day 4 Schedule at China Open 2024 on Saturday, 28 September 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In their first meeting, Kamilla Rakhimova, ranked at No. 71, will face Qinwen Zheng, ranked at No. 7 from China. Rakhimova made her main draw debut at Beijing as a Lucky Loser after being an LL five other times in her career. Her best result as an LL was reaching the 3rd round at the 2021 US Open. She recently achieved her first career WTA 1000 main draw victory by defeating Kimberly Birrell in the 1st round. Rakhimova is aiming to earn her first career win over a Top 10 player, as she has lost both of her matches against Top 10 opponents this year, losing to Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. This will be her first Tour-level match against a player from China, although she has a 7-2 record across all levels. Her best career results on hard court were quarterfinal runs at the Guadalajara 500 in 2024 and Melbourne 250 in 2022.

On the other hand, Zheng is making her second appearance at Beijing, with her previous visit resulting in a first-round loss in 2023 to Rybakina. She is looking for her first career win at this tournament. Zheng holds a hard court title from Zhengzhou 2023, where she defeated Krejcikova in the final. She has had a rough start to tournaments this year, losing in the opening round three times, including WTA 1000 events in Indian Wells and Madrid. However, she recently won the Gold Medal in women’s singles for China at the Paris Olympics this summer. Currently ranked at No. 7, she has significantly improved her ranking compared to last year when she was ranked No. 23. Zheng leads the Tour in first serves won percentage (75.3%) and is second in aces with 308, following Rybakina with 336. She has been successful in the Asian swing last year, reaching the runner-up position at Zhuhai, winning at Zhengzhou, and falling in the first round at Beijing. The best performances by a Chinese player at the Beijing tournament were semifinal runs by Qiang Wang, Na Li, Jie Zheng, and Shuai Peng. Zheng will aim to join Shuai Zhang, who has already reached the third round.
