Jasmine Paolini and Qinwen Zheng have it all to play for in the WTA Finals. They come into this final round-robin group match with a win and a loss from their two matches played so far. Here's our match prediction.

Paolini is playing in this tournament for the first time. It's a busy time for her because the Italian is also in the doubles with Sam Errani and both her matches in that event have gone to a final set.

The 28-year-old began this singles tournament with a straight sets win over Elena Rybakina. That was followed by a loss to Aryna Sabalenka so it all comes down to this match against Zheng to determine who'll qualify for the semi-finals.

Qinwen Zheng has had a similar singles tournament with a loss to Sabalenka and win over Rybakina. Unlike her opponent, the Chinese player's one win came in three sets. Zheng is chasing her third title of the year and has won all three of her previous matches against Paolini.

The most recent of those three victories came in the recent tournament played in Wuhan, That went to three sets as did one of their other meetings. We tip over 19.5 games to be played in this match.
