WTA Beijing Day 6 Predictions Including Aryna Sabalenka vs Ashlyn Krueger
The final day of the third round action at the WTA China Open in Beijing offers several exciting matches. This article features some incredible players who are title contenders. Top seed, Aryna Sabalenka and Chinese favourite, Qinwen Zheng will be in action. As always, LWOT will offer predictions for every match on the slate for Day 6, split between this and a separate article. But who will advance to the fourth round?
Elise Mertens looked down and out in the first set against Elisabetta Cocciaretto but kept fighting and won the set. That set eventually decided the match in her favour. She was simply the better player in the crucial moments. This is the furthest Mertens has been at the China Open and has a great chance to go even further. Cristina Bucsa took out last year’s finalist with a fantastic performance. Bucsa’s counterpunching ability was in full flow. This is the best result for the Spaniard at the WTA 1000 level this year. She will look to do the same against Mertens but Mertens plays a completely different style to Samsonova and the same tactics might not disrupt her.
