THE PREDICTION
World number 69 Yafan Wang has not played since a first round defeat to Peyton Stearns at the Miami Open back in March, with her fitness still questionable after she pulled out of this stage of the Madrid Open two weeks ago. The 30-year-old had been in searing form from last summer on the ITF circuit through to the semi-finals of the Hua Hin Championships in February, where she came back from a set down to beat Katie Volynets, but she has won just twice since. World number 109 Volynets stands a solid chance at revenge for that defeat in Thailand after qualifying well this week. The 22-year-old took a set from Sorana Cirstea before defeat to the Romanian this time last season but back her to edge things here against a player listing away from form.
TIP: KATIE VOLYNETS TO WIN
