Two former China Open finalists, Liudmila Samsonova and Karolina Muchova will meet in the third round of the 2026 edition. Seventh seed Muchova has the head-to-head advantage as the two face off for the third time in their careers. Our prediction favors Muchova, who has won seven times in her last 10 hardcourt matches.
It has been seven long years since these two players faced off, but Muchova will still be the stronger one. Her first round, straight-set victory over Katie Boulter was the third on the bounce.
She has posted eight wins in her last 10 outings, boosting her ambitions for a deeper run, having graced the 2024 final. She has a 9-3 record in Beijing and a 40-10 record for the season, having won two titles, in Doha and Bad Homburg.
Samsonova, the 29th seed, is a 2023 finalist here, but in the subsequent appearances she failed to go past the second round before returning in 2026.
A three-set win over Linda Fruhvirtova in the last round means she has dropped a set in each of her last four matches in Beijing. Her year hasn’t been as great as her opponent's, as she has compiled a 20-22 record so far.
Samsonova’s highlight in the season has been reaching the Guadalajara semis, and she comes here sitting 41st in the live ranking.
