2016 Australian Open QF: Konta vs. Zhang

[tented]

Their head-to-head is tied at 1-1:

2012 - US OPEN - Konta: 6-4, 3-6, 7-5
2013 - GUANGZHOU - Zhang: 7-5, 6-3

Who wins?

[GameSetAndMath]

We need to discount Zhang's win in China (as there may be a home court factor and crowd support advantage). But, Konta won in a neutral venue.

At any rate, this is a great opportunity for both players (both are unseeded) to make SF. So, neither will go out easily. So, while I am not so sure of winner, I am sure that it will go to three sets.

Konta has more experience than Zhang. After all Zhang has not won a single GS match before this AO. Besides, the coaching and fitness regimen is below standard for Asian players (not player's fault, the economy's fault). So, I am leaning with Konta in 3.

That seems logical, so I'll also go with Konta in 3.

Konta has a very good serve and she tends to approach the net frequently. She will force Zhang to pass her, but I think this is the end of the road for the upstart. Konta in 3

I am picking Konta to reach the final...it sounds improbable but its possible.

I have nothing against her..:snicker...I just knew when I saw the draw that she will not win AO16..It was just a hunch..:cry

 

[tossip]

I picked Pannetta to reach the USA Open final during the early rounds...so I am picking Konta to reach the final...
