CCTV-5 and Yangshipin are currently airing the first round match of the Australian Open women's singles featuring Zhang Shuai against Preston.

This match follows a best-of-three sets format, and both players are currently in the first set with the score level at 0-0.

Who will emerge victorious and move on to the next round? I think Zhang Shuai will win because:

1. Her opponent is a wildcard entry and a local player, ranked 175th worldwide.
2. Zhang Shuai earned her spot in the main draw through her skills and holds a world ranking of 75.
3. In the recently concluded Brisbane tournament, Zhang Shuai defeated this opponent 2-1.
4. However, Preston is the home favorite and a tough competitor; hopefully, Zhang Shuai can overcome any external challenges.
5. Tomorrow is Zhang Shuai’s 37th birthday, and we hope she can claim this victory as the best birthday gift for herself!
