THE PREDICTION

Word number two Iga Swiatek was stunned by eventual Tokyo Open champion Veronika Kudermetova in the quarter-finals on Friday but she should be improved off the back of it here in Beijing. The 22-year-old will play a rare first round at a Masters after the WTA’s new results-based seeds went elsewhere but that should only serve to give the Pole a boost in momentum in this excellent match-up for her. World number 55 Sara Sorribes Tormo won the Cleveland Championships in August to cap off her successful return from injury in 2023 but her uber defensive game matches up poorly with Swiatek. Sorribes Tormo claimed just two games in their first meeting at Wimbledon back in July and Swiatek can be backed to win this clash in fewer than 16.5 games.
