Katarzyna Kawa vs Daria Snigur prediction

Katarzyna Kawa and Daria Snigur will face-off for a fourth time in 2026 in Ningbo.

All three previous encounters were also on hardcourts with Snigur winning the first two before retiring at 1-6 0-2 down … in qualifying at this very tournament.

The Ukrainian gets an immediate chance to set the record straight after entering the main draw as a lucky loser.

It’s a strange twist of fate and perhaps frustrating for Kawa, who lost in three sets in their first two meetings before thinking she’d finally overcome the Snigur hoodoo here.

If world number 40 is fit, she is the clear favourite against the Polish world number 128 and there’s enough to suggest it could go three again or at least have more games this time around.
