She will like her chances against Lanlana Tararudee, who has only one tour-level win to her name and is struggling with form. Timofeeva has more experience at this level and should get the win if she plays close to her best.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Timofeeva in 3<br \/>\n<a id=\"kKkeiTUeRc5x2PPvG26zvQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2236206206\" 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:'kKkeiTUeRc5x2PPvG26zvQ',sig:'UXQlVEFJfXlZ6vPxZDvikL1DaCJG9eG-nprq1OhQX8U=',w:'594px',h:'371px',items:'2236206206',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Nao Hibino vs Mia Pohankova<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Nao Hibino is having her worst season on the WTA Tour and will be looking to get some wins in this tournament and take some confidence into the off-season. She will face world #659 Mia Pohankova, who is a wild card and will play her first tour-level match. The 17-year-old Pohankova has played some good tennis against higher-ranked players this season and can take a set here. However, Hibino&#8217;s experience should prevail.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Hibino in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Leolia Jeanjean vs Nina Stojanovic<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: Jeanjean 1-0 Stojanovic<\/p>\n<p>This is a great opportunity for both players to get a tour-level win, especially for Nina Stojanovic, who hasn&#8217;t won at this level in a long time. Leolia Jeanjean has been the better player of the two this year and reached a career-high ranking in August, but her form heading into WTA Chennai doesn&#8217;t inspire much confidence. Stojanovic&#8217;s serve has been subpar lately, and Jeanjean should pounce on it to create break chances.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Jeanjean in 3<br \/>\n<a id=\"99RIeQO7TC9BLiXpiuNU3Q\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2231407989\" 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:'99RIeQO7TC9BLiXpiuNU3Q',sig:'ONoG1J_mJAk7r5kXDQ5rztBwyMeIvKmepx7rFvT8rcI=',w:'594px',h:'362px',items:'2231407989',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Zeynep Sonmez vs Tatiana Prozorova<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Turkey&#8217;s rising star Zeynep Sonmez is the top seed this week at the Chennai Open and has expectations to make a deep run here. Her aggressive baseline game should be rewarded on these hard courts. Tatiana Prozorova has only one tour-level win to her name and is yet to break inside the top 100. She can be competitive in this encounter with her grit, but that alone won&#8217;t help her win. Sonmez has more weapons and more experience, which should make her the favourite for this match.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Sonmez in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Main photo credit: Danielle Parhizkaran-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No play was possible due to heavy rain on the opening day of the WTA Chennai Open, and all the matches have been shifted to day two as a result which should ensure plenty of entertaining tennis for the Indian fans.
