Dayana Yastremska vs Qinwen Zheng Prediction: A new terrain for both semifinalists

There are 4 players left in the tournament and 2 of them are Dayana Yastremska and Qinwen Zheng. Both players have maintained a winning run in the tournament and they have made it to the Semi finals of the competition. Dayana Yastremska had an easier challenge in the previous round as she defeated Linda Noskova in straight sets, while Qinwen Zhen defied the odds to defeat Anna Kalinskaya in 3 sets. This will be the very first meeting between Dayana Yastremska and Qinwen Zheng.

Dayana Yastremska

Dayana Yastremska is a newcomer to the Australian Open Semifinal stage. She was eliminated in the 1st round in the 2022 and 2023 editions, and in the 2nd and 3rd round in the 2020 and 2019 editions.

Dayana Yastremska’s last round success was pretty easy as she defeated Linda Noskova in straight sets, beating her 3:6,4:6. Her statistics in the game were: 3 aces, 3 double faults, 26/34 first serve points, 15/28 second serve points, 2/3 break points saved, 3 break points converted, 12 games won and a total of 64 points.

Dayana Yastremska has never faced Qinwen Zheng in a competitive game throughout her career, but her results on the hardcourt have been perfect so far. She has won her last 8 singles on the surface and hopefully she can show that character in this match.

Dayana Yastremska also looks confident on the hardcourt outdoor surface as her record on that surface is 9 wins in her last 10 matches.

Qinwen Zheng

Qinwen Zheng has put herself on the radar after her stellar performance in the tournament and there is a feeling that she might have a shot at the title, but first she needs to go through Dayan Yastremska. Qinwen Zheng is also very new to this stage of the Australian Open after crashing out of the 2nd round in both the 2022 and 2023 editions.

Qinwen Zheng played a quite fascinating game against Anna Kalinskaya in the previous round and she had to overcome a first set defeat to win the game 2:1. She recorded the following statistics: 10 aces, 2 double faults, 36/45 first serve points won, 19/36 second serve points won, 0/2 break points saved, 6 break points converted, 18 games won and a total of 91 points.

Both players are skillful and rightly so, there’s not much of a glaring difference to pick either player.
