Zeynep Sonmez vs Sijia Wei prediction
Zeynep Sonmez’s last tournament was in Guadalajara a fortnight ago, losing in round one to Tatjana Maria in straight sets. The Turkish player has not had a particularly strong campaign, especially when compared to last season, with just one quarter-final appearance all year.
Her opponent is Sijia Wei. The world number 183 failed to make it out of qualifying for the US Open and has failed to produce strong results on the ITF circuit. She did make a final in Canberra but has also lost 10 first-round matches overall in 2025.
This is their first match against each other on the WTA Tour, though they did face each other earlier this year in Indian Wells qualifying. Sonmez easily brushed aside Wei 6-2 6-2. Furthermore, they played in Monastir three years ago with the Turk coming through in straight sets once more. She’s the stronger player, despite her indifferent season, and she should come away with the victory.
