Third seed Elena Rybakina faces Ajla Tomljanovic in this Ningbo Open quarter-final clash on Friday. Can the World No. 9 overcome 104th-ranked Tomljanovic to reach the semifinals? Here is our prediction for the match.
After losing the Wuhan Open qualifying semi-final to Varvara Gracheva, Ajla Tomljanovic enjoyed a terrific run in the Ningbo Open campaign. Her peak performance came against fifth seed Clara Tauson in the first round, where she rallied from a set down to oust the Danish star 6-1, 7-6(7-4), 6-3 in two hours, 16 minutes.
This was followed by a straight-set victory over Zeynep Sonmez in the round of 16. She defeated the World No. 76 7-6(8-6), 6-3 to secure her quarterfinal slot and extend her winning streak to four matches (all against higher-ranked opponents). The former World No. 32 has also kept her recent losses within respectable margins.
Elena Rybakina bounced back from her Wuhan Open quarter-final defeat to World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to begin her Ningbo Open campaign on a winning note. She overcame 30th-ranked Dayana Yastremska 6-4, 6-7(6-8), 6-3 in the round of 16. The nine-time WTA champion has lost two of her last five matches and her last three victories have been by less than six games.
