Maja Chwalinska vs Maria Sakkari prediction

Maja Chwalinska advanced to her first WTA 1000 quarter-final after an impressive win over Iva Jovic in straight sets. The Pole frustrated Jovic with a strong defensive performance, going on to win 6-4 6-1. It’s been a productive Asian swing for the Roland Garros finalist, as she also progressed to the semi-finals of the Singapore Open.

Her next opponent is Maria Sakkari. The former world number two defeated 17-year-old Mia Pohankova. Sakkari raced clear in the first set and held off a late fightback from Pohankova in the second to win 6-1 6-4. She also came from a set down to beat Marta Kostyuk in the second-round.

The head-to-head is locked at 1-1, with Chwalinska defeating Sakkari in the third-round of the French Open this year on her way to the final. Sakkari’s athleticism and ability to sustain baseline exchanges are particularly effective on Wuhan’s hard courts. Furthermore, her greater experience at this level gives her a slight edge.
