But who will advance?<\/p>\n<h2>WTA Ningbo Day 2 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Clara Tauson vs Ajla Tomljanovic<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Tauson 2-2 Tomljanovic<\/p>\n<p>Tauson has been on the cusp of a top 10 debut for a while, but her results in recent tournaments have been quite disappointing and have stopped her from taking that step so far. This tournament is another opportunity. Despite the 2-2 head-to-head record, she is clearly a superior player to Tomljanovic at this point in their respective careers and should have a clear edge here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Tauson in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Hanyu Guo vs Liudmila Samsonova<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>On paper, this is one of the most one-sided matchups we will see the entire week. While Guo does have the home advantage here, Samsonova is the far higher-ranked player for a reason. Guo played well in qualifying to reach the main draw, but under normal circumstances, Samsonova should be the one advancing here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Samsonova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"oyxJuAIORCRE3qq_K78sow\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2239319130\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'oyxJuAIORCRE3qq_K78sow',sig:'7m9YjZPq2aQhTNR0BLLKY9iSER-7Tc4q1nVC7lr0WfE=',w:'594px',h:'347px',items:'2239319130',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Yue Yuan vs Xinyu Wang<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Yuan 1-1 Wang<\/p>\n<p>Wang might be the higher ranked player, but on current form Yuan seems to have the advantage here. She played at a very good level in Wuhan, making it very competitive against Jasmine Paolini, while Wang comes into this tournament on a four match losing streak. It should be a very close match either way, but it is fair to give Yuan a slight edge.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Yuan in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Victoria Mboko vs Dayana Yastremska<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>After her amazing title run in Canada, Mboko hasn&#8217;t really backed it up thus far, losing three matches in a row since. Given her talent, however, it seems to be only a matter of time before she has another big result and this tournament is another opportunity to do so. Luckily for her, she faces an opponent who is also on a losing streak (of four matches) in this first round and should be able to advance here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Mboko in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main Photo Credit: David Kirouac &#8211; Imagn Images<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 2 of the WTA 500 event in Ningbo will feature plenty of high-quality matches, with several players looking to make a final push towards the WTA finals or a better year-end ranking position.
