Xinyu Wang vs Varvara Gracheva prediction
Xinyu Wang has failed to win her last five matches and will desperately hope for an upturn in form at this tournament. Her last victory came all the way back in August when she came from a set down to beat Caroline Dolehide in the first-round of the US Open. Wang has still enjoyed some real highlights, having made the final of the German Open in June as a qualifier and also reached three semi-finals.
Varvara Gracheva is her opponent in the first-round. She has struggled to find form in recent weeks. Despite qualifying in Wuhan and Osaka, Gracheva was unable to win either of her round one matches at both events. Her form has taken a slide since she got through to the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Open, arguably her most impressive event of the season.
Despite her recent troubles, this could be an ideal moment for Wang to return to winning ways.
