Lin Zhu defeated Caroline Dolehide 5–7, 6–3, 6–4 in the second round of the WTA 250 Hobart tournament on hard court on 10 January 2024. Zhu, the pre-match favourite at 1.58 odds, recovered from dropping the opening set to assert control in the second and third frames, converting her advantage into a straight-sets victory in terms of the final two sets. Dolehide, positioned as the underdog at 2.52 odds, competed well early but could not sustain the intensity required to trouble Zhu across the full match. The result maintains Zhu's momentum in the early season and sets up a quarter-final appearance.
