Mayar Sherif vs Maja Chwalinska prediction

Maja Chwalinska will be in confident mood arriving in Wuhan.

The Pole may not have made her mark in Beijing but she shone for the first time since the French Open just prior to that, with a run to the last four in Singapore.

The Roland-Garros runner-up will now meet Mayar Sherif for the third time with the head-to-head tied at 1-1.

Sherif is far happier on clay and her victory did come at the French Open back in 2021. The Egyptian hasn’t been too active since Hamburg and has lost both matches on a hardcourt since. 

With that in mind, we feel this is Maja’s to lose and if she can hit the level of Singapore, she should come through in two given her opponent is also undercooked.
