Prediction published on 26/09/2023, 02:32  by Nella Wagah in Tennis Predictions

Unseeded Katerina Siniakova and lucky loser Elizabeth Mandlik will square off on Tuesday at the Ningbo Open. The winner will play either third seed Sorana Cirstea or unseeded Claire Liu in the second round. Katerina Siniakova arrives for this tournament in woeful form. The Czech number eight has lost her last seven matches with the latest coming three weeks ago in San Diego. This puts into perspective her form this year. Siniakova has lost more matches than she has won. She has compiled a 14-16 record with 13 of her defeats coming on hard courts. A top 35 player, Siniakova is currently ranked 92nd in the live ranking.

Elizabeth Mandlik lost in the final round of qualifying and has now been given a lifeline as a lucky loser. The American has fared way better than Siniakova this season which should see her fancy her chances of a win here. She has compiled a 30-27 record and though she has lost more matches on hard court, has managed 13 victories on the surface. Mandlik has won six of her last 10 fixtures with all coming on hard court. The 22-year-old is currently up six places in the live ranking to 139th.
