Dayana Yastremska vs Zhang Shuai: Prediction
Zhang has yet to drop a set at the Lyon Open, but Yastremska can’t be discounted because she’ll be motivated to win. With her younger sister, who is also a tennis star, the Ukrainian had to escape her homeland. She’s been going through a period of patriotism, and the situation, as horrible as it is, appears to have strengthened her game. Both have played each other’s games before and are familiar with them. Yastremska appears to be playing her best tennis of the season, and she has a chance to win this match.
Prediction: Yastremska to win in three sets.
