China Open Women’s Singles
The last of the four Premier Mandatory events is set to kickoff this weekend, and it promises to be just as exciting, with the online betting favourites determined to get their games going in preparation for next month’s live betting showdown in Singapore.
Not to mention that there are also stars aiming to solidify their places in the WTA Finals, and the China Open is their biggest chance to turn around the betting odds in their favour.
World No. 1 Garbine Muguruza, Simona Halep, and Elina Svitolina will be playing their final tournament of the regular season in Beijing, and they will all hope for a strong showing to boost their confidence ahead of the annual end-of-the-season tour championship.
Muguruza will be particularly motivated to show her fitness after recently picking up a left leg injury, while Halep will be keen to bounce back from her latest struggles.
French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko and Caroline Wozniacki are also on the hunt for an appearance in the Lion City three weeks from now, and they are poised to cement their places in Beijing, especially after their solid displays in their respective Asian tours.
Meanwhile, Johanna Konta is in a tricky position at no. 8 in the Race to Singapore leaderboard, and the likes of Kristina Mladenovic, CoCo Vandeweghe and Sloane Stephens all have the chance to overtake the British No. 1 when they step on the hard court of the China Open.
Wildcards Maria Sharapova and Eugenie Bouchard will also feature in the Asian competition, and they will look to prove that they are in the tournament not only due to their drawing power but also because of what they can do on the tennis court.
On the other hand, Chinese players Peng Shuai, Zhang Shuai, and Wang Qiang, as well as wildcard entrants Zhu Lin, Wang Yafan and Duan Ying-Ying will seek to use their home court advantage to make a deep run and pull off some upsets against the other highly-touted participants.
Just like the other three mandatories this year that saw three different champions, the China Open is shaping up to be another unpredictable contest. However, that should only add up to the drama of what is already anticipated to be an eventful affair at the National Tennis Center.
