Qualifier Katie Volynets meets wildcard Shuai Zhang in the last of the quarter-final matches at the Guangzhou Open on Friday. This will be the second meeting between them, with the winner setting up a match against Ann Li or Elisabetta Cocciaretto. Read on for our prediction.
Volynets advanced into her second quarterfinal of the season on tour with a straight-set win over Rajaonah Rakotomanga. That was her sixth win in seven matches, and she has now compiled a 39-26 record.
The American is only making her debut here and has not advanced past the quarter-final level this season. She is 90th in the live rank and will be eyeing revenge against Zhang.
Zhang will relish this challenge as she looks to go 2-0 up against Volynets. Their only previous meeting was at the 2023 Australian Open, which Zhang won in straight sets.
The Chinese player is a two-time champion here, having won the 2013 and 2017 titles. This is the fifth time she’s reached the quarter-final level at this event, and she will also be banking on home support to push her.
Zhang is coming off a three-set win against Veronika Erjavec, taking her tally for the season to 29-12. For her as well, this is the second quarter-final of the season, and she is 116th in the live rank.

Our Katie Volynets vs Shuai Zhang Prediction
Among the opponents Shuai Zhang is battling at the Guangzhou Open is age. She’s been forced to take on younger and more agile opponents, and she has done well. The Chinese athlete, 36, has tapped on both her experience and local support to push through.
She will depend on the same here, but we expect Volynets to push her to the limits. The only downside for the American is that she has spent a lot of time on the courts, but we can't rule her out just yet. Our prediction for Katie Volynets v Shuai Zhang is – Exact score: 1-2.
