Xinyu Wang is seeded sixth for the Libema Open grass court tournament. The Chinese player faces a tricky first round match when she faces unseeded Kimberly Birrell. Here's our match prediction.
Wang is 48th in the live rankings and unlikely to be seeded at Wimbledon this year. The 23-year-old has had her struggles this year and has won only ten of her 23 matches. Her final two matches of the clay court season both ended in defeat.
On grass courts, Wang had a good run at Wimbledon last year. Jessica Pegula was defeated on her way to the fourth round. That was her best performance at Wimbledon and she'd never previously made it past round two.
While this is her first grass court tournament of the year, it's the second for her opponent. Birrell played in last week's tournament in Birmingham and lost in the quarter-finals. The Australian is 77th in the live rankings.
Last year saw her achieve a 12-4 record on grass with two quarter-finals and a semi-final reached. However, the 27-year-old Australian then lost in the Wimbledon qualifiers and is still to play in the main draw of that Grand Slam.
We tip over 19.5 games to be played in this match.
