Belinda Bencic vs Jasmine Paolini prediction
Jasmine Paolini got her Ningbo bid up and running with a solid display against Veronika Kudermetova.
The Italian continues to be the epitome of consistency as she clocked a 6-2 7-5 triumph over the Russian.
The second seed now faces a stern test versus Belinda Bencic after the Swiss battled back to defeat qualifier Yuliia Starodubtseva 5-7 6-4 7-5.
This will be their fourth meeting with Bencic leading the head-to-head 2-1, although Paolini won their most recent encounter 6-1 6-1 at the United Cup right at the end of 2024.
Both players have been stringing wins together with impressive regularity of late and with just six places between them in the current rankings, it may well be a contest that goes all the way with Paolini’s pluck and extra bite likely to give her the edge.
Belinda Bencic vs Jasmine Paolini tip: Over 2.5 sets
