Looking at the world No. 5, the 22-year-old Chinese star is a player who boasts a 2024 Olympic gold and 2025 Qatar Open WTA 1000 title. An 18-9 tally in 2025 comprises of a quarterfinal loss in the French Open to Aryna Sabalenka (7-6(3), 6-3). In London, Zheng continued her battle-full win over Kessler: a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory, going 76% (38/50) of the first-serve points yet getting broken thrice. Zheng maintained a 6-3 record during the clay season, claiming the quarterfinals in Rome against Sabalenka but bowing out early in Madrid and Charleston. Her topspin-laden forehand does not flourish on grass (46 percent career win rate; 5-6), yet her serves and power keep her in the fights. @prince_chas_cca on X applauded the Zheng comeback over Kessler: "Zheng was 4-1 down in the final set and still won!" Sportskeeda notes her 31 unforced errors against Kessler, a concern with Raducanu's variety. With the career match win rate of 70-30, Zheng is a threat to anyone on this surface; still, grass remains her weakest.
🇬🇧 Emma Raducanu
Emma Raducanu, a 22-year-old Brit currently ranked No. 37, is a grass-court diurnal mouse with a 2021 US Open crown and a fourth-round run at Wimbledon 2024. She holds a 15-11 record in 2025, including a fourth round at Rome but a second-round loss to Iga Swiatek (6-3, 6-2) at the French Open. The warm-up in London saw Raducanu absolutely treasure-trotting Rebecca Sramkova 6-4, 6-1, she served 4 aces, converted 4/6 break points, and did not drop serve even once. The clay season, for Raducanu was 5-5, including a quarterfinal at Stuttgart but early exits in Madrid and Paris. Raducanu's slice and variation go a long way on grass (2-0 in London 2025), and the 2024 semifinal at Nottingham surely helped build her confidence. @bettinganalystt was hyped on X: “If Raducanu plays her game, she wins!” Sky Sports reported her focus on fitness post-injury-hit Wimbledon 2024, but The Play-offs worried about her weak serve getting crushed by Zheng's power. The loud and home crowd might be her X-factor.
