Clara Tauson vs Ajla Tomljanovic prediction
Clara Tauson will try to break into the top ten for the first time with a deep push in Ningbo.
The Dane is at a career high of 12 in the world but will meet Ajla Tomljanovic for the fifth time in a tricky opening tie.
The head-to-head is tied at 2-2 with the last two encounters notable as the Aussie prevailed in the final in Hong Kong this time last year while the Scandinavian triumphed 6-3 6-7 6-4 in Cincinnati just a few months ago.
Tomljanovic has struggled for tour-level wins since but did romp through qualifying here and given the nature of their last couple of tussles - and the fact the underdog leads 2-1 in the match-up on a hardcourt - it promises to be another close affair.
Clara Tauson vs Ajla Tomljanovic tip: Clara Tauson to win 2-1
