Katarzyna Kawa vs Belinda Bencic prediction

Belinda Bencic reached the round of 16 in Ningbo after her potential blockbuster with Jelena Ostapenko ended abruptly.

The Swiss was leading 6-3 1-1 when her Latvian opponent retired.

The fifth seed’s reward for what had been a solid display up until that juncture is a first meeting with Katarzyna Kawa after the Polish qualifier overcame lucky loser Daria Snigur 1-6 6-2 6-4 for the second time in as many days.

There are over 100 places between these two, so it will be a big ask for Kawa and Belinda looked settled to the conditions in her opener, so this should be routine.
