THE PREDICTION
18-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova will move back inside the top 100 after her run to the Ningbo Open semi-finals were ended by eventual runner-up Diana Shnaider on Friday. The Czech was ranked inside the top 50 after a stunning run to the round of 16 at the Australian Open earlier this season but a poor summer saw her drop back considerably. 32-year-old Arantxa Rus is enjoying some of the best form of her career at the other end of scale, setting a career-high WTA world ranking of 41st after winning her first ever WTA title at the Hamburg Open on clay in July. The Dutchwoman has failed to win a tour-level match since, though, taking a three-match losing streak into Beijing. Hardcourt conditions better-suit the teenager and her results this week in Ningbo suggest she is ready to rediscover the level that saw her claim a maiden WTA title at 17 years old this time last season. Back Fruhvirtova to win outright.
