China's Zheng Qinwen is playing his best at the Australian Open and is sure to extend his stay in Melbourne; you can watch a live stream of Zheng vs Wang from anywhere with a VPN.

Zheng, who won his first two WTA titles in 2023 and reached the top 15 in the world rankings for the first time, has emerged as a real threat in Australia. The 21-year-old reached the quarterfinals at last year's US Open, where she faced Katie Boulter (GBR) in the second round, winning 6-3, 6-3.

The 12th seed seems very confident on hard courts, having beaten Ons Jabourg during her last eight run at Flushing Meadows. But to advance in Melbourne, she would have to beat Wang for the first time. He lost 6-4, 6-1 in 2018 when Zheng was just 16 years old.

Since that match, Wang has experienced many ups and downs. She made the top 50 in 2019, but has played very little since then and her ranking has dropped to 418th. Last year, she showed signs of returning to her best and showed enough quality and no small amount of fight when she defeated Emma Radakanu in the second round; the 29-year-old hit 42 winners in her match against the 2021 US Open champion to reach the third round for the first time at a Grand Slam.
