Xinyu Wang vs Talia Gibson prediction
Xinyu Wang will hope to recover in time following her exploits in reaching the final in Auckland.
The Chinese star showed quality and resilience to make a huge impression in her opening tournament of 2026, but it remains to be seen how much it may have taken out of her here.
Home underdog Talia Gibson will hope to take advantage of any fatigue from the world number 57, but she will need to produce one of the performance of her life having only ever won two tour level matches so far in her career.
Wang should have too much even if the tank is potentially half full.
