McCartney Kessler vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction
McCartney Kessler reached the round-of-16 at a 1000 event for the second time this season in Beijing as she defeated Han Shi, Elise Mertens and Barbora Krejcikova. She went a set up against Eva Lys but the German came back to win. Nevertheless, the American has momentum on her side as she targets a strong end to the season. It’s been a good year for Kessler, who reached her highest ranking of 30 in June and won two titles in Hobart and Nottingham.
She faces Jaqueline Cristian in round one of the Wuhan Open. She is currently on a three match losing streak and has not won since getting through to the third-round of the US Open in August. Her Asian swing has seen her lose comprehensively to Emma Raducanu and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in Seoul and Beijing.
Kessler has the stronger game, and her aggressive style is likely to see her dictate a lot of the rallies. She is the favourite to get through this one.
