Viktorija Golubic vs Maya Joint prediction
Viktorija Golubic has found her best form of the season during the last leg of the campaign. She picked up an ITF title in Suzhou, as she came from a set down to defeat Katie Volynets in the final. She then transitioned back to the WTA Tour in Osaka and managed to get through to the last eight after impressive wins over former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu and Marie Bouzkova. She comes into this event as a lucky loser after being defeated by Eva Lys in qualifying.
Maya Joint’s momentum has stalled somewhat as her season draws to a close. It has been a breakthrough year, with the Australian getting up to 34 in the rankings and winning her first two titles. However, she could only make the third-round of Beijing and then lost in the second-round of the Wuhan Open. Joint’s last tournament was in Ningbo, but she failed to qualify.
They faced each other earlier this year in qualifying for the Italian Open, with Joint recovering from a set down to win. This could be a close encounter as well, but the Australian will start as the favourite.
