Zheng Qinwen vs Donna Vekic prediction
Zheng Qinwen captured an invalubale Gold medal finish in the Paris Olympics. She not only ended Swiatek's three year winning streak in Paris, but also announced herself to the big leagues on tour. The youngster will be hoping to emulate the same success at Major events now.
Vekic, on the contrary, has worked towards polishing her game in the last few months. After a promising start to the season, she found her best potential on grass and justified her form in the Paris Olympics. The Croat will want to continue her rich vein of form in New York end the second half of the season on a high.
Vekic will be determined to avenge her loss in the Gold medal match against Qinwen in the US Open. She had plenty of chances during their last meeting, but couldn't hold her nerve during crucial moments. She will be expected to tackle Qinwen in fine form again this time around and is most likely to come up short in the fourth round. The Chinese has shown her resilience throughout the event so far and is poised to enter the last eight in New York.
Pick: Qinwen to win in straight sets.
