Sixth seed Diana Shnaider faces unseeded Alexandra Eala in the second round of the 2026 Ningbo Open. This will mark their first career meeting but recent form has Shnaider as the pick in our prediction.
Eala defeated Diane Parry in straight sets in the first round. The win was of particular importance for her as it put to a halt a run of three matches without a win.
Eala, who has been in top form this season, has witnessed a dip in form lately, losing half of the last 10 matches she has played. The Filipino star, a winner of 44 matches so far in 2026, has moved up to 19th in the live ranking.
Eala won this year’s Washington title.
Diana Shnaider is seeking her first title of the year. She has won at least one tour a season since her tour breakout year in 2024.
With her strong record in this event, she will be confident of continuing this streak. Shnaider has made it to at least the semi-finals in Ningbo twice. Finishing as runner-up in her tournament debut three years ago.
To mark the start of her fourth appearance in Yinzhou, the world number 13 defeated the qualifier Yulia Putintseva in straight sets.
