In the quarterfinals of the WTA tournament in Lyon, Russian tennis player Vitaliya Dyachenko will play against Zhang Shuai from China.
Vitaliy Dyachenko
The 31-year-old Russian tennis player made a big sensation in the 1/8 finals yesterday. In three sets Dyachenko beat the representative of Switzerland Victoria Golubich. In the first set Dyachenko was stronger in the tiebreak – 7:6 (7:4). In the second game, incredible things were happening on the court and the tennis players after the first game, where Golubich took her game, no longer took games at all on their serve. As a result, Victoria was stronger with a score of 6:4. In the third set, the picture almost repeated itself, but still Vitaliya Dyachenko, along with breaks, was able to take a couple of games on her serve, which allowed her to take the set with a score of 6:4.
Zhang Shuai
The 33-year-old representative of China, in turn, confidently beat the representative of the Netherlands Arancia Rus in the 1/8 finals yesterday. Both sets ended with the same score - 6:4; 6:4.
Zhang Shuai and Vitaly Dyachenko played three times between themselves. Two matches remained for the representative of China. Last year, the tennis players played each other twice. The first game at the WTA tournament in Birmingham on grass was won by a representative of China - 6:2; 7:5. But already in mid-December, Dyachenko was stronger at the challenger in Angers - 6:0; 6:4.
Forecast
Vitaliya Dyachenko showed a very strange tennis yesterday, it is unlikely that Zhang Shuai is going to play in the Golubich style, and therefore we suggest that you still bet on a representative of China.
