World No. 129 Sonay Kartal is back from injury to contest at the China Open. In the second round, she will be up against Xinyu Wang in what will double up as their first career meeting. Wang has a good record against outside-top-100 opponents, but our prediction is for an end-to-end match.
Sonay Kartal hasn’t had much match practice this season due to injury. After retiring in the fourth round at Indian Wells, she recently returned in the BJK Cup before showing up in Beijing, where she beat qualifier Andrea Lazaro Garcia in straight sets.
The Briton has a 3-0 record in the second round this season and looks to go deeper than her quarter-final appearance here in 2025.
Xinyu Wang has suffered a bit in the early rounds in events she’s taken part in and hopes to do better at this one. This match is expected to be an open contest, but her 6-11 run in the second round will have her concerned a bit.
The Chinese has reached one final this season, in Auckland, and also the fourth round at the Australian Open. She got a bye in the first round after her quarter-final showing in Singapore and looks to have another deep run.
Her best at this event has been the third round, but a 10-4 record against outside-top-50 opponents looks assuring of a strong start to match that.

She, however, hasn’t lost a second-round match this season, which is a contrast to Wang’s performance at the same stage.
While Wang is still the favorite, she may have to prove it with a better second-round output. Going by the two players’ performances, our prediction for Sonay Kartal v Xinyu Wang is for the match to have over 2.5 sets.
