Maddison Inglis vs Maya Joint prediction

Maddison Inglis enters the Hong Kong Tennis Open looking to reverse a disappointing run of results. The Australian’s best performance in 2026 was reaching the Vancouver semi-finals, but she has struggled to maintain momentum during the Asian swing. Inglis defeated Zeynep Sonmez before losing to Sara Bejlek in Beijing. She subsequently beat Sara Sorribes Tormo in Osaka qualifying but lost to Claire Liu and then suffered a 6-1 6-3 defeat to Joanna Garland in Guangzhou qualifying. She is ranked 135 in the world. 

Maya Joint arrives in considerably better form, having reached the Korea Open final in September, where she lost to Kimberly Birrell. The 20-year-old also enjoyed an impressive run to the Tokyo quarter-finals last week, progressing through qualifying before defeating Sorana Cirstea and Cristina Bucsa. Joint has struggled this season, but there are signs that she is rediscovering confidence and consistency.

Joint leads the head-to-head 1-0, having defeated Inglis in the opening round of Brisbane in December 2024. With four wins in her last five matches, Joint deserves to be viewed as the favourite.
