Today will be the ultimate test to Mirra Andreeva’s recent growth. Sabalenka has already beaten her twice on hardcourts this season: 6-3 6-2 in Brisbane and 6-1 6-2 at the AO.
Both times, the teenager failed to break Sabalenka’s serve, going a combined 0-for-11 on break points.

Zheng only missed 3 forehand returns (2 were in the first 2 points of the match) but she had trouble all day with Swiatek's bouncing serve and failed to apply any pressure.

Yesterday, we mentioned that a large part of Qinwen Zheng's win over Iga Swiatek at the Paris Olympics was due to an improved forehand return performance.

Final numbers show Zheng was far from replicating that performance in yesterday's loss to Swiatek.

Swiatek vs Zheng: Paris 2024 Olympics Semi-Final Analysis How Zheng defeated Swiatek for the first time, to guarantee the first ever singles medal for China in tennis at the Olympic Games.

Last time they met, Zheng finally defeated Swiatek.
A big part of her gameplan was a focus on heavy/loopy, deep returns instead of offense. This helped control errors and limited early-rally attacks from Swiatek.
Can Zheng do it again and will it be effective on a hardcourt?
