Belinda Bencic vs Varvara Gracheva prediction
Belinda Bencic begins this tournament in the round-of-16. She last competed in Ningbo and was a set away from making the semi-finals but she lost in the last eight as Jasmine Paolini fought back to defeat the Swiss. That was her fourth quarter-final of the season, with Bencic’s highlight being a title in Abu Dhabi earlier in the year.
She takes on Varvara Gracheva. She fought back from a set down to beat Xinyu Wang in round one. The Chinese player came from 4-2 down to reel off five games in a row as she also broke right at the start of the second. Gracheva managed to respond and went on to win 4-6 6-3 6-4.
Bencic is the player with the far greater pedigree on tour, and this should prove to be a comfortable match for the world number 14 as she aims to finish the campaign strongly.
