It’s time to wrap up the first round at the 2025 WTA Singapore Tennis Open on Day 2. Xiyu Wang and Xinyu Wang will both be taking the court, while last week’s ITF Bangalore champion Tatjana Maria tries to keep going against Yulia Starodubtseva. Who do you think will advance to the next stage of the event?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head:<\/strong> Zarazua 2-0<\/p>\n Renata Zarazua won their two meetings back in 2021, but they don’t have to be all that relevant considering Hailey Baptiste was just 19 at the time. Even with the Mexican more or less at the peak of her career right now, her game isn’t that threatening and mostly relies on consistency. The indoor conditions could open up some possibilities for Baptiste here and if she can put the pressure on, she’ll be the one leading the way. Head-to-head:<\/strong> First meeting<\/p>\n Maria Timofeeva<\/a> made it into the main draw as a lucky loser after Amanda Anisimova withdrew. Her career certainly hasn’t exploded the way some would have thought after the title in Budapest or the Australian Open<\/a> run and the Russian is now sitting barely outside the Top 250 in the WTA Rankings. Xiyu Wang isn’t too consistent, but the Chinese left-hander once made a strong run indoor run in Cluj and should have the weaponry to dictate in this matchup.
\nPrediction: Baptiste in 3<\/em><\/p>\nMaria Timofeeva vs Xiyu Wang<\/h4>\n
\nPrediction: Wang in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
