Lulu Sun and Claire Liu will battle in the first semi-final at the Guangzhou Open. These two meeting for the first time also guarantees that a qualifier will be in the final. Read on to find our prediction of the match.
Sun, who started off here by eliminating the top seed, hasn’t slowed. She’s coming off an impressive comeback to stun Caty McNally in the quarter-finals after losing the opening set.
The New Zealander is now on a 5-0 run here in Guangzhou, having compiled a season record of 31-25. She just posted her 12th win in the last 14 matches, and Sun is cantering towards breaking into the top 100. In the live rank, she is 96th.
Claire Liu also came from a set down to beat Ella Seidel in the quarter-finals. This is her third appearance in Guangzhou and so far her deepest run.
In 2018 she couldn’t make it past the qualifiers, and in 2023 she was eliminated in the first round. This time she’s pushed herself superbly and has her first semifinal appearance of the year.
Her best before arriving in Guangzhou were first-round exits at the US Open, Miami, and Indian Wells. The disadvantage she carries into this game is having spent more hours on the court than her opponent. Liu is 221st in the live rank.
