THE PREDICTION

World number 10 Caroline Garcia could be one to watch this week in Beijing after recent runs to the semi-finals of the Guadalajara Masters and the quarter-finals in Tokyo were both ended by in-form Maria Sakkari. The 29-year-old has enjoyed two serious purple patches in her career; one last season that culminated in winning the WTA Finals and one in 2017 when she won back-to-back Masters titles in Wuhan and here in Beijing. Recent results suggest Garcia is trending upwards after a sorry summer on tour and she should coast through this opener over Kateryna Baindl in their first meeting on tour. World number 88 Baindl did not drop a set in qualifying to look competitive here but back Garcia to enjoy a return to a court with happy memories in a straight-sets victory.
