Seventh seed Wang Xinyu meets unseeded Francesca Jones in the quarter-finals of the ASB Classic in Auckland. This marks their first-ever duel at senior level and on the tour. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Xinyu Wang defeated Renata Zarazua in straight sets in the last round. The win followed a three-set battle against Caty McNally to start her season. The Chinese player had a terrible end to last season as she lost her final six matches.
She, however, in preparations for the new season, produced a shock straight-sets victory over world number two Iga Swiatek. The win and her subsequent unbeaten start to the season suggest Wang has gotten over her 2025 struggles.
Advancing to the last eight has moved her up to 54th in the live ranking.
Francesca Jones started her season with a morale-boosting victory over second seed and world number 15 Emma Navarro. She won in three sets.
The Brit also needed a decider to get over her last opponent, qualifier Sinja Kraus. Jones had a strong campaign in 2025, where she won 45 matches, alternating between the tour and challenger circuits.
She claimed four challenger titles and progressed past the second round of a tour event for only the third time when she reached the Sao Paulo semi-finals. Advancing to the last eight this week has bumped her to 69th in the live ranking.

Our Xinyu Wang vs Francesca Jones Prediction
Wang and Jones have had strong starts to the new season and will both fancy their chances of making it to the next round in Auckland. Wang has shown strength on hard courts and also had a surprise victory over Iga Swiatek in the lead-up to the season, emphasizing the form she is in currently.
Jones also had a statement win over Emma Navarro earlier in the week and will not be an easy opponent for Wang here. She, however, hasn’t been able to put her opponents away with ease, suggesting that despite her unbeaten start, she lacks fluidity. Our prediction for Xinyu Wang v Francesca Jones is that Xinyu Wang wins.
