Maria Sakkari, the fourth seed in Hong Kong, and second seed Alexandra Eala are set to face off in the semi-finals at the event. Surprisingly, this will be the two players’ first career meeting, and both will be playing in the semis here for the first time. With 46 wins in the season so far, our prediction backs Eala to prevail here.
Sakkari went close to winning her first title of the year in Athens, as she qualified for her only final so far. She will be keen on advancing to another and going all the way.
In straight sets, the Greek beat Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the quarters to secure a third semi-final appearance in 2026. With that, she also advanced to 29th in the live ranking.
Alexandra Eala is making her second appearance in Hong Kong and has set high ambitions, going for her second tour title. The Filipina claimed her first tour-level crown this year in Washington.
She will be confident of upsetting Sakkari, having not dropped a set in Hong Kong this week. To get here, Eala saw off Antonia Ruzic for her sixth win in eight matches, and she has now compiled a 46-25 record.
Heading to the semis, she has risen to a record 16th in the live ranking. This is Eala’s fourth semi-final appearance this year, and she has only progressed in one.
