THE PREDICTION

World number 48 Tatjana Maria has conceded just three games to each of her opponents so far this week in Guangzhou and she will be a hard force to break now with a real chance of a title. The 36-year-old defended her Bogota Open title in February to maintain her steady climb back up the WTA world rankings and she can break her career-high of 46th by reaching the final. World number 81 Yulia Putintseva is another who should be improved from this moment on with skin in the game. The 28-year-old dropped her first set to Clara Tauson on Wednesday before levelling things in the second but she rode her luck a little as Tauson was forced to retire injured after that. Putintseva is capable of much better tennis than her current WTA world ranking suggests but she has seen more troughs than peaks this season. Back Maria, who looks dialled in here, to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
