It will be an All-Aussie encounter in the first qualification stage at the 2025 Ningbo Open as rising star Maya Joint takes on veteran Ajla Tomljanovic on Saturday.
World’s No.35 Joint is a -350 favorite in this match, but the 32-year-old Tomljanovic enjoys an edge in experience.
Current Form:
After her semifinal run at the 2025 Korea Open, Joint would pick up three wins in her next five matches, reaching the round of 32 of both the China and Wuhan Open. Joint carries a 26-16 record on the hard court this year, which has significantly helped her steady rise in the world rankings.
Tomljanovich, 8-12 on the hard court in 2025 and 21-23 in the 2025 WTA season, is 1-2 since the start of the Asian Swing of the WTA Tour. The Aussie scored a 7-6, 6-2 win in the first round of the 2025 China Open before bowing to Jessica Pegula 0-6, 3-6 in the next round. Tomljanovich also tried to qualify for the main draw of the 2025 Wuhan Open, but she suffered an injury in the second set of her first qualification match, which forced her to concede the win to her opponent, Varvara Gracheva 7-5, 2-5 ret.
