Top seed Elena Rybakina has reached the semi-finals in her Ningbo Open title defence, where she will face sixth seed Diana Shnaider. These two have already faced off twice this season and once again, our prediction backs Rybakina to keep her dominance.
Rybakina is now just two wins away from defending the title she won here as a debutant last season. The world number one surprisingly needed three sets to get past the challenge of the qualifier Katarzyna Kawa.
Expected to win the match quickly, especially after spending little to no time in her opener, Rybakina needed a decider after losing the second set. A winner of three titles so far this season, including two Grand Slams, Rybakina has reached 50 victories for the second successive season.
Diana Shnaider has been on the receiving end in both of her meetings with Rybakina. The Russian lost in Stuttgart and then in Cincinnati without winning a set.
She will be determined to avoid a hat trick of losses and keep alive her quest for a first title win of the year.
Shnaider, who is a former Ningbo finalist, defeated Iva Jovic in three sets to reach the semis here for a second successive season. The world number 13 has now won 35 matches in 2026.
