Head To Head: 2-2
The two, Garcia and Zhang had faced off four times, with a 2-2 head-to-head record. Their two encounters this year have also been evenly split, with Zhang taking the first one at the Lyon Open and Garcia winning at Wimbledon.
Prediction
The 2022 Pan Pacific Open’s second round will feature World No. 28 Zhang Shuai versus second seed Caroline Garcia, who received a bye in the first round.
The lone notable performance for Garcia during the first half of the season was a semifinal appearance in Lyon. The French Open, nevertheless, ended up being a turning point for her. In Paris, she won the second Grand Slam doubles match. The 28-year-old has had an incredible run since then.
On the other hand, Zhang Shuai has had significant success as well. She won the Lyon Open, her first singles championship in nearly five years. She made the Wimbledon doubles final and rose to a new career-high ranking of No. 2 in the category.
In the opening round of the Pan Pacific Open, the 33-year-old faced Mai Hontama. To easily win the first set, she served up a bagel. It was a little more competitive in the second set. The first six games of the set featured even play between the two players, but the Chinese won the final three games to win the match 6-0, 6-3.
In the opening round, Zhang performed admirably against Hontama. Her opponent had a difficult time keeping up with the pace of her shots and didn’t miss a single serve. The next round’s opponent, the favoured Garcia, will be a far tougher test for the Chinese.
The 28-year-serve old’s has significantly improved, and she currently leads the WTA with 318 aces hit this year. Garcia has been doing a good job from the baseline as she attempts to control the action with her forehand from the back of the court. She is an especially tough opponent due to her propensity for hitting winners from any region of the court.
Each player had some success in doubles, thus their all-court skills are respectable. Garcia is unlikely to lose this match, though, unless she has a bad day or Zhang plays outstanding tennis, given her recent form.
