Xinyu Wang vs Ajla Tomljanovic prediction
Xinyu Wang is at her highest ranking of 30 in the world, and is seeded for this WTA 1000 event. She began the season strongly, defeating Linda Noskova on her way to making the round-of-16 at the Australian Open. She was one of the favourites for the title in Cluj-Napoca, however she could only make the quarter-finals after squandering a number of opportunities against Oleksandra Oliynykova. The Chinese player then suffered early exits in Doha and Austin.
Ajla Tomljanovic is her second-round opponent. The Australian exacted revenge on Elena-Gabriela Ruse as she won 7-5 6-2 in round one. The Romanian had won their encounter in Melbourne earlier in the year, but Tomljanovic edged ahead in the first set and raced clear in the second. She now has three wins from her last four wins, having made the last eight at the ATX Open last week, which included a brilliant comeback win over Iva Jovic.
Tomljanovic is the underdog here, but she has found form and could trouble Wang at points in this match.
