Xinran Sun will be out to continue with her good start to the Guangzhou Open when she takes on seventh seed Maria Timofeeva on Thursday. Meeting for the first time, the two will square off in the second round. Timofeeva is coming off a powerful run in recent matches and our prediction backs her to prevail.
Timofeeva defeated the qualifier, Teodora Kostovic, to make a winning start to her Guangzhou debut. The win was the Uzbek star’s eighth in her last nine outings and lifted her to a 39-18 record.
Timofeeva, who has won four titles outside the tour this year, has moved to 67th in the live ranking.
Meanwhile Xinran Sun continued to add to an exciting tour debut in 2026 by winning her opening-round tie in straight sets. The 16-year-old outscored the wildcard Mananchaya Sawangkaew to start only her second appearance at a tour tournament.
Sun debuted on tour earlier in the month in Beijing and produced a memorable performance. She won her first two fixtures, defeating seasoned tour players Eva Lys and Cristina Bucsa, both in straight sets.
Juggling school and playing professionally, Sun has catapulted over 40 places in the live ranking and is now placed 359th.

Our Maria Timofeeva vs Xinran Sun Prediction
Our prediction for Maria Timofeeva v Xinran Sun is that Maria Timofeeva wins. Sun is once again enjoying playing on home soil and was able to comfortably win her opening-round match this week. With the support of the home crowd, the teenager will be a tough draw for Timofeeva.
We, however, fancy the Uzbek star to have enough in her locker to punch her ticket for the next round. Timofeeva, much more experienced on tour than Sun, has been in top form, especially in the lead-up to this week. She is also a hardcourt specialist with over 100 duels won on such surfaces.
