Ye-Xin Ma vs Kimberly Birrell prediction

Kimberly Birrell will be well aware of the threat Ye-Xin Ma can pose.

The 27-year-old Chinese won their first meeting in straight sets back in 2023 with the Aussie replying with a similar victory last year.

Both of those matches were on hardcourts at a lower tier, but it’s notable that Birrell triumphed last time out.

The 28-year-old is the one making an impact in main draws and she should repeat her result from last time if she finds her groove.
