Belinda Bencic, the 13th seed at Wuhan, is set to meet second seed Iga Swiatek in the third round at this WTA 1000 event. It will be the sixth match between these two, and we have a prediction below.

For the first time in her five Wuhan appearances, Bencic will be playing in the third round. The Swiss lost four games as she saw off Donna Vekic in round one and then had an easy pass in round two as Elise Mertens withdrew.

Bencic has now compiled a 31-15 record and comes into this encounter sitting 14th in the live ranking. A year on after her maternity break, Bencic has been hitting the right buttons, winning the Abu Dhabi title and reaching the Wimbledon semis this season.

For Swiatek, the Asian swing has had mixed fortunes. After her title run in Seoul, she failed to live up to the billing in Beijing. Now she’s at Wuhan hoping to find her step again, seeking her third title in East Asia.

Despite all, she will look at this as a positive season. The Pole won her sixth Grand Slam gong in Wimbledon and added a WTA 1000 title in Cincinnati before winning in Seoul.

After her first-round bye, she overcame Marie Bouzkova in straight sets, only losing two games. By that, she hit her 60th win in 74 matches, an incredible run that has her second in the live rankings.
