Jaqueline Adina Cristian vs Lucia Bronzetti Prediction & Betting Tips - WTA Guangzhou

Prediction published on 22/10/2024, 06:18  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 22/10/2024 at 10:17 in Tennis Predictions

Jaqueline Cristian will take on fellow unseeded player Lucia Bronzetti in the second round of the 2024 Guangzhou Open. The match, scheduled for Wednesday, will be the fifth between the two. Read on for our prediction.

Jaqueline Cristian snapped a three-match skid with a nervy 2-1 victory over Victorija Golubic in the first round. She has struggled in recent weeks and this was only her fourth win in her last 10 outings.

Having dominated this matchup with Bronzetti, she will be confident of better times. Cristian has defeated Bronzetti in all of their four meetings so far. Advancing to this round has moved the 26-year-old up to 73rd in the live ranking.

Lucia Bronzetti had a dominant start to her Guangzhou return and will be hopeful of an even better performance in this tie. A quarter-finalist here last season, Bronzetti eliminated fourth-seed Elina Avanesyan by the loss of five games.

Her first victory on indoor hard courts this year improved her record to 27-30. Bronzetti has also had a sputtering run of results recently and has lost five times in the last 10 outings.

Despite her winning start, she has dropped one place to 85th in the live ranking. The winner here will play Wei Sijia, Wang Xiyu, or Arantxa Rus next.
