Sonay Kartal meets ninth seed Belinda Bencic in the second round of the 2026 Wuhan Open. This marks their first-ever meeting, and we are backing over 2.5 sets in this prediction.
Sonay Kartal is having a strong start to her debut in Wuhan. Eager for a strong finish to the year, the Brit defeated Anhelina Kalinina in straight sets in the first round. She won by the loss of eight games as she recorded her 15th victory of the year.
Kartal returned to the tour in September after a six-month injury layoff. Up a massive 30 places in the live ranking to 140th, the 24-year-old qualified for the third round in Beijing right before appearing this week.
Belinda Bencic also took part in Beijing last week and lost in the third round. She will be looking for a much deeper run this week and possibly earn her first title of the year.
The Swiss star has compiled a 28-13 record and has fourth-round finishes at Wimbledon and the French Open as her season highlights. Currently the world No. 12, Bencic is appearing in Wuhan for a sixth time.
She has never played past the second round, losing in this very round last year as she ended a six-year hiatus from the tournament.
