JIUJIANG, China — The WTA Jiujiang Open enters its second day with eight matches scheduled, sparking excitement among tennis fans. Top players are set to battle for a spot in the second round of the tournament.
Among the standout matches, Anna Blinkova faces Chloe Paquet, in what could be a tightly contested fight. Blinkova has had a rough season, often exiting early, but she may find success against Paquet, who has also struggled recently. ‘At her best, Blinkova is a more complete player,’ noted an expert. The prediction leans towards Blinkova winning in three sets.
Another anticipated match features Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Maria Osorio. Cocciaretto holds a 2-1 edge in their past meetings and is favored, largely due to her powerful groundstrokes. Despite Osorio’s resilience, Cocciaretto is predicted to win in two sets.
Lilli Tagger will face Zhu Chenting in their first career match-up. Although the home crowd will support Zhu, Tagger’s higher ranking gives her the advantage. Experts believe Tagger is likely to win in two sets.
Ann Li, coming off a title win in Guangzhou, looks to maintain her momentum against Bai Zhuoxuan. Li’s track record and recent performances suggest she should comfortably advance, with predictions indicating a straight sets victory.
The other matches include Viktorija Golubic versus Rina Saigo, with Golubic seen as the favorite, and the local favorite Yuan Yue against Elena Pridankina, where Yuan is favored to win.
