THE PREDICTION
World number two Iga Swiatek beat Varvara Gracheva in straight sets on Tuesday to maintain a steady start to the China Open. The 22-year-old was stunned by Jelena Ostapenko in the round of 16 at the US Open last month to see her almost two-year long stay at the top of the sport ended by Aryna Sabalenka but she could still return to the summit if she outperforms the Belarussian considerably both here and at the WTA Finals. World number 25 Magda Linette came back from a set down to beat Victoria Azarenka in the first round of the China Open and then rode her luck when Jennifer Brady was forced to retire injured early in their match on Monday. The 31-year-old came into some serious form this time last season and that saw her enjoy a remarkable run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January before falling away on tour. This first meeting between two Poles should be a good-natured affair but that is likely only to serve the more ruthless Swiatek in blasting through in two.
