Both of these players are in the Top 40, but they are each capable of beating anyone in the world on their day. Kontaveit has more power and looks more consistent right now. This could go either way if Sevastova picks her form back up, but the Estonian is the clear choice right now.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Kontaveit in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"NvTDjx9xQux_19wCMlTPUA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1207530208\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'NvTDjx9xQux_19wCMlTPUA',sig:'a0FOoBcYs0LGEic2PR8zWc16KfTrhXX3-3VbLkmXmeo=',w:'594px',h:'402px',items:'1207530208',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Dayana Yastremska vs Kirsten Flipkens<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Yastremska is in strong form and looks like a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordontennis.com\/2020\/01\/21\/dayana-yastremska-ukraines-grand-slam-champion\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">future star<\/a>.

We don&#8217;t have any good way to see her form now, though she hasn&#8217;t been able to win much since coming back. She&#8217;s definitely not at her French Open level yet, though, and Zheng is a bad opponent to face if you have any doubts or inconsistencies in your form.
