THE PREDICTION
World number 16 Jelena Ostapenko stunned then world number one Iga Swiatek to reach he quarter-finals of the US Open but a consummate defeat to eventual champion Coco Gauff after that was symptomatic of her erratic form this season. The 26-year-old has since claimed two strong wins over Ekaterina Alexandrova and Marta Kostyuk before two competitive defeats to Danielle Collins and Sofia Kenin to leave little evidence for a deep run or an early exit here in Beijing but she should be coming through this opener. World number 122 Eva Lys looks well capable of an upset, though, after sweeping past Leylah Fernandez and Cristina Bucsa in qualifying this week. The 21-year-old has plenty of potential, and some considerable momentum from qualifying, to consider backing to earn at least a set but the sensible call remains taking Ostapenko to win outright.
