Veronika Kudermetova vs Jasmine Paolini prediction
Jasmine Paolini arrives in Ningbo having already clinched a career-best in terms of tour wins this year.
The Italian has consistently made deep runs at tournaments across 2025 but has just one title so far.
The second seed kicks off here against Veronika Kudermetova after the Russian comfortably defeated lucky loser Antonia Ruzic 6-3 6-2.
The world number 31 leads the head-to-head 3-2 but the only clash in the past two years came in Cincinnati in August, with Paolini winning 6-3 6-7 6-3.
The diminutive Italian loves to scrap her way through tough moments and Kudermetova may well cause a few again here, but not enough to earn the shock.
