It promises to be a great day of tennis in Hua Hin. The No. 2 seed, Katerina Siniakova, is one of the players scheduled to play on Day 1 of the WTA-250 tournament. There are seven matches on the slate in total. We at LWOT predict all the matches here and in a separate article, including Katie Volynets vs Clara Tauson<\/a>. But which players do you think will win?<\/p>\n

WTA Hua Hin Day 1 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Lanlana Tararudee vs Thasaporn Naklo<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

This is a battle of the two local wild cards. Tararudee has enjoyed a slightly more accomplished career to date. The 20-year-old reached a career-high ranking of No. 175 at the end of July. Thasaporn is also enjoying the best season of her career but has yet to break into the Top 300. Her compatriot is a slightly better player at the moment, making her the favorite to progress.
\nPrediction: Tararudee in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Viktorija Golubic vs Wang Xiyu<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: Golubic 2-0 Wang<\/p>\n

Both players had pretty underwhelming North American hardcourt seasons. Wang’s issues go back further than that. Her level has nosedived since her run to the final of the ATX Open at the start of March. Golubic is not in her prime, but her playing style has caused Wang issues in the past. The Swiss player’s spin from her forehand and one-handed backhand does not suit Wang and could give her the edge again.
\nPrediction: Wang in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
