Xinran Sun and Claire Liu will face off in the quarter-finals at Guangzhou on Thursday. Both players arrive for their first career meeting in bullish form. Recent results, however, indicate Sun might just have the edge here, and our prediction backs her to triumph on home soil.
Sun has been on an exciting run and didn't even show signs of panic when facing a higher-ranked Maria Timofeeva in the last round. She needed just 37 minutes to win the opening set.
Timofeeva would recover to win the second, but Sun wasn’t letting the Uzbek easily through. That was the first set she dropped here, and her win was the 10th in 11 outings.
Sun has now risen to 374th in the live ranking, which is a record for the Chinese starlet.
Liu will be bringing her experience in Guangzhou but will be somewhat aware that she is facing a giant-slayer. The American is a former semi-finalist here, and this is her fourth appearance.
She will be looking to match her performance from last season when she graced the last four, or even better it. Heading here, Liu had an easy pass after a walkover was issued against Katerina Siniakova.
Liu got the much-needed rest after playing out a three-setter in the opening round against Antonia Ruzic. Still searching for her first tour title, Liu arrives here sitting 101st in the live ranking.

Our Xinran Sun vs Claire Liu Prediction
Claire Liu has the experience at this level but lacks the momentum and consistency. She is a former semi-finalist here, but her recent run has been shaky, with good fortune seeing her reach the last eight courtesy of a withdrawal.
She will be well-rested for this match, but that might not matter a lot in Sun’s recent form. The teenager has posted 10 wins in her last 11 matches and will hope to ride her momentum. Our prediction for Xinran Sun and Claire Liu is that Xinran Sun wins.
