Day 2 of the Mubadala Silicon Valley Open brings some intriguing match ups. Victoria Azarenka starts her campaign against qualifier Harmony Tan. Danielle Collins and Andrea Petkovic will both be in action, looking to make a deep run in San Jose.<\/p>\n
Here’s a look at three of the six matches which will complete the opening round. We also have predictions for the other three matches–including Venus Williams vs Bethanie Mattek-Sands<\/a>. Who’s moving on to the second round in sunny San Jose?<\/p>\n Head to head: <\/strong>First meeting<\/p>\n Zhang had a great run to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon<\/a> and made the round of 16 in Eastbourne. But, rarely has the Zhang turned in that level of performance on the hard court. The veteran Chinese doesn\u2019t have the heavy shots or the enormous serve which sets opponents back. Zhang can defend well, but the power she\u2019ll see off Collins\u2019 racket<\/a> should prove too much. Collins had mediocre success on clay and grass courts but should excel during this hard court swing.Mubadala Silicon Valley Open Day 2 Predictions<\/h2>\n
