Qinwen Zheng vs Aryna Sabalenka Prediction: Sabalenka has an excellent chance to make it to the semifinals

Aryna Sabalenka's opponent in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open will be China's Zhang, the 23rd ranked player in the world. The girls have not crossed paths with each other so far, and bookmakers are on Aryna's side, believing that Sabalenka has an excellent chance to make it to the semifinals of the Women's US Open.

Zheng was a prominent figure on the hard courts before the US Open. In Washington, the Chinese player failed, dropping out of the tournament after her first match against Keyes. In Montreal, she beat Kostyuk but lost to Samsonova. In Ohio, she was stronger than Sasnovich and Venus Williams but weaker than Švöntek. In New York, the Chinese player has four wins in four meetings and two lost sets in matches against Kanepi and Bronzetti.

Aryna reached the semifinals in Cincinnati, losing in three games to the world No. 10 Mukhova of the Czech Republic. But in New York, Arina has not only four wins but four wins in two games, with virtually no chance for any of her opponents. For example, the match against Kasatkina in the US Open lasted only an hour and 16 minutes, 6:1, 6:3 in favor of Sabalenka, a very easy victory for the second racket in the world so far. But it is already known that Aryna, regardless of the result of the match against Zheng, will move up to the top of the WTA rankings.

Considering the form of the world number two, we doubt that Zheng has a real chance to win in the upcoming game. Moreover, we won't be surprised if Aryna wins her fifth match at the Grand Slam in New York in two games. And in general, Sabalenka looks like the main favorite, as Aryna is in good shape.
