One of Zeynep Sonmez or Claire Liu will advance to a first semi-final on tour this season at the Hong Kong Open. The two face off in the first quarter-final, in what will also be their second career meeting. Both are on six wins in 10 outings, but Liu is having a better season, having won more. Our prediction will therefore back Liu to win.
Sonmez has two targets in this encounter and can kill two birds with one stone. She will be looking to avenge her loss to Liu in Wimbledon and at the same time reach her first semi of the season.
Three times so far, Sonmez has failed to advance to the semis. Her straight-set win over Mika Stojsavljevic in the first round was her 35th this season.
Liu has won six more matches than Sonmez and lost four fewer. She comes here with the head-to-head advantage and will be confident after reaching her second quarter-final of the season on tour.
To rise to 99th in the live rank, Liu saw off Katie Boulter in the second round, and she hasn’t dropped a set in her Hong Kong debut. Among the American’s highlights this season was reaching the third round in Wimbledon, where she featured as a qualifier.

Our Zeynep Sonmez vs Claire Liu Prediction
In terms of wins recorded this season, Liu has an edge over Zeynep Sonmez. She has played more matches, though, and lost fewer than her opponent still. All that will come into perspective when the two go head-to-head. Liu has the advantage, having beaten Sonmez earlier on grass and in straight sets.
We don’t anticipate that this one will be that straightforward. Sonmez has only failed to win a set twice in her last 10 outings, and this could go the distance. Our prediction for Zeynep Sonmez v Claire Liu is for the exact score: 1-2.
