French Open - Zhang v Begu

It's turning into a busy old Thursday at Roland Garros, as we fancy Irina-Carmelia Begu to gun down Shaui Zhang in the later matches.

Begu has played 55% of her career matches on clay, winning 67% of them, and those 326 clay matches make her something of an expert compared to her Chinese rival.

Zhang has played a more modest 127 matches - just 18% of her overall matches, and it's not surprising, with a win record just south of 50%.

Begu made hard work of beating Anna Schmiedlova in the first round, but we'll forgive her that effort, and having warmed up with matches against Sharapova, Ostapenko and Kerber should leave her well prepared for this encounter.

2.2pts Begu to beat Zhang at 8/11 (Paddy Power)
