THE PREDICTION
This could be quite the transformative week for world number 38 Xinyu Wang as she comes in to Beijing in the form of her promising young career. The 22-year-old reached the semi-finals of the Osaka Open last month, losing to eventual runner-up Lin Zhu, but it was her run to the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time at the US Open that set out her stall as one to watch. Former world number two Vera Zvonareva enjoyed a strong week at the Ningbo Open, stunning Katie Boulter and Clara Tauson before a three-set defeat to eventual champion Ons Jabeur in the quarter-finals. The 39-year-old won the Women’s Doubles there alongside Laura Siegemund to bring some strong form into Beijing but it is likely that she can focus on that portion of the draw after this first encounter with Wang. Back the young Chinese to thrive under partisan support to win in straight sets.
