Expert Betting Tips
This will most likely be a clash of styles pitting the defensive skills of Kerber against the aggressive baseline play of Zheng. While experience and defensive expertise give Kerber a decent chance, it is the current form and power game of Zheng that may prove a little challenge for the veteran. The youth, the power, and the current form will ostensibly favor Zheng, but experience and the resilience to make Kerber push this close.
