Anna Bondar is coming off a bittersweet experience in Korea to start off her China Open with a first rounder against struggling Renata Zarazua. This will not only mark their second career meeting but also their second in as many weeks. Bondar won the initial one, and in our prediction, we are backing her for the same.

Their encounter in Seoul saw a decider called, as Bondar eventually carried the day. The Hungarian is making a third appearance here and will be looking to do better than her second-round finish last season.

Bondar had a good run in Seoul until her semi-final defeat by Kimberly Birrell. She hopes to restart another here as she seeks a first tour-level title. With a 31-24 record for the season, Bondar starts this game placed 72nd in the live ranking.

Zarazua has been struggling in the run-up to this encounter and comes here on a losing record, having compiled a 27-30 run. Advancing from the first round has been her biggest headache, with the Mexican winning just six of her 17 first-round matches.

There is a positive spin, though, in each of her four straight defeats ahead of this encounter – she won a set. Across Zarazua’s last 10 matches, she failed to win a set in just three but lost seven outings. She sits 97th in the live ranking.
