Elena Rybakina vs Katarzyna Kawa prediction

Elena Rybakina got her title defence off to an efficient start in Ningbo.

The world number one was leading 5-0 when Polina Kudermetova retired.

The Kazakhstani star will now face Katarzyna Kawa in the last eight after the Pole shocked fifth seed Belinda Bencic 7-5 6-2.

We don’t see lightning striking twice here with Rybakina clearly a big favourite if the big serve and plus-one flow.
