The die is cast, and after a week of entertaining action, the Hong Kong Open final will be a contest between Claire Liu and Alexandra Eala. The two are set to meet for the second time in their careers. Liu has the H2H advantage, and our prediction backs her to prevail.
Liu won in three sets when these two faced off in Guangzhou last year. In the last round here, she saw off Alexandra Shubladze in straight sets, and will be playing in her first final this season.
For a player who had never previously reached the main draw here, the American has done well, playing all week without dropping a set. After her 41st win, she’s 99th in the live ranking.
Eala showed signs of fatigue in her semi-final outing as she dropped a set here for the first time in Hong Kong. It is no secret that her match against Maria Sakkari was the tougher of the semis and it lived up to the billing.
The encounter lasted close to three hours and as a result, Eala’s time on the court is stretched to eight and a half hours. That is about two hours more than Liu, and it rolls the advantage to her better-rested opponent.
Her quest for a second title of the season was always going to be bumpy, and we’ll see how she handles this hurdle. The world No. 17 has won 47 matches this season, and here she is 15th in the live ranking, a record high.

Our Claire Liu vs Alexandra Eala Prediction
Liu has already beaten Eala before, an encounter that will still be fresh in both players’ minds. Coming into this game having played considerably fewer minutes means Liu has an advantage again here.
Eala is coming off a three-set match that lasted almost three hours. She kicked off her semi-final two hours after Liu, which also works against Eala, who hasn’t had it great in the past few weeks. Eala’s combination of fatigue and the pressure for revenge could work against her, facing a player who hasn’t dropped a set. Our prediction for Claire Liu v Alexandra Eala is the exact score: 2-1.
