Xinyu Wang and Varvara Gracheva officially kick off the knockout stages of the Toray Panpacific Open in Tokyo, Japan. Who makes it to the next stage, and what's the best bet? Find out in our Xinyu Wang vs Varvara Gracheva match prediction.
There's no doubt about Gracheva’s quality, but she goes up against Wang, who has beaten her in all their meetings and boasts of better form in recent games. In the two times they've met, Wang has won both games, although the last time was in 2018.
Still, the results may remain the same as Wang at 62nd holds a higher WTA rank and more points than Gracheva at 83rd. And while Wang has lost her last four singles, she's been impressive in recent months, 14 of the 19 singles prior. What's more, Wang made it to two semifinals and finals in that run.
Gracheva, on the other hand, has won her two qualifying games so far, with the latest coming against Maddison Inglis. However, Gracheva has also lost five of her last 11 singles.
