Qinwen Zheng is 43-15 this year, reaching the Australian Open final where she lost to Aryna Sabalenka. She went on a great run on clay, winning the Palermo Open and the Olympics to claim the gold medal.

The 21-year-old was unable to maintain that form on hard courts, knocked out in the third round in Cincinnati. She went further at the US Open, losing 6-1 6-2 to Sabalenka in the quarter-finals.

The World No.7 went deep in Beijing last week, beating Amanda Anisimova and Mirra Andreeva in 3 sets before a 6-3 6-4 semi-final defeat to Karolina Muchova.

Zheng beatJaqueline Cristian 6-2 6-4 in Wuhan before getting past Leylah Fernandez 5-7 6-3 6-0 and Jasmine Paolini 6-2 3-6 6-3. She was too good for Xinyu Wang in the semi-finals, winning 6-3 6-4.

Verdict

Aryna Sabalenka v Qinwen Zheng

Aryna Sabalenka has won 16 straight matches in Wuhan and won easy in all three victories over Qinwen Zheng. I am backing Sabalenka to win the final in straight sets.
