THE PREDICTION

World number 13 Daria Kasatkina’s erratic 2023 continued this week in Tokyo, where she looked strong in reaching the quarter-finals before taking just one game in a hammering by Jessica Pegula. The 26-year-old reached the round of 16 at the US Open in similar circumstances before another pasting by Aryna Sabalenka but her recent performances have been encouraging after an odd summer on tour. World number 34 Mayar Sherif brings a three-match losing streak into the China Open with very little recent form. The 27-year-old proved herself a proper handful on her favoured clay with an excellent run to the quarter-finals of the Madrid Masters in April, also losing to Sabalenka, but a 1-4 record since the start of the hardcourt swing suggests Kasatkina can be backed to win through in straight sets.
