Zhang Shuai vs Magdalena Frech Preview

 

Zhang Shuai went 24 straight matches without a win in singles (an Open Era record), but since snapping that unwanted streak at the 2024 China Open, she simply can’t stop winning.

The Chinese player is savoring every minute at her home tournament, buoyed by an expectant crowd and she looks a transformed player this week. Wins over McCartney Kessler and Emma Navarro propelled her to the third round. There, she beat Greet Minnen to extend her winning run to three matches and she has not dropped a set.

Magdalena Frech, meanwhile, is also in great form coming into this fourth-round match. She has won 13 matches on hard courts since the start of August. It is a run that includes her maiden WTA title in Guadalajara. 

She is ranked 31st in the WTA rankings which is her career high. Frech is currently on a seven-match win streak after besting Alycia Parks and Diana Shnaider to reach this stage in Beijing. 

 

Zhang Shuai vs Magdalena Frech Head-To-Head

 

• The head-to-head is tied at 1-1. They last played at the 2023 Roland Garros where Frech dropped only two games. Zhang won their other meeting on a hard court in Hiroshima in 2018.

 

Zhang Shuai vs Magdalena Frech Prediction

 

Zhang has put together her best winning run since the 2023 Australian Open. It will definitely give her a significant rankings boost. Frech is the outright favorite here and should be winning this match considering her ranking and exceptional run of results in the past few weeks. But there are obvious question about fatigue potentially wearing her down. This is a match you don’t want to put in your parlay, but if you are considering a value pick, then you should be looking to take the Zhang sets spread as she is yet to lose a set at the tournament.

Nur Said's Pick: Zhang Shuai set handicap +1.5
