Top seed Elena Rybakina will face the qualifier Katarzyna Kawa next in her Ningbo Open title defence. Meeting for the first time, the two will square off in the quarter-finals. Rybakina will be the pick in our prediction, having posted 50 wins this season.
Rybakina played just 30 minutes in her opening round tie. Facing off with the qualifier Kudermetova, Rybakina raced to a 5-0 lead in the first set before her opponent was forced to retire with injury.
The win marked a winning return to action following a disappointing early exit in Beijing. Rybakina is the Ningbo defending champion, winning the title last season in her tournament debut.
The world number one is having a career year. With 50 wins so far, Rybakina has won three titles, two being Grand Slam victories.
Katarzyna Kawa will hope the momentum she has picked up this week leads to an upset here. Looking for her first career victory over a top 10-ranked opponent, Kawa has won four matches in a row.
In this streak, she has dropped a set only once. The Pole defeated fifth seed Belinda Bencic in straight sets in the last round to record her maiden tour win over a player ranked in the top 20.
That win saw her reach 30 victories for the season and, more importantly, catapulted her 12 places to 116th in the live ranking.
