🔍 Match Breakdown
Guo brings match sharpness and sturdy return consistency, having already played through two qualifiers and a gritty R1 tiebreak. Bai’s upside is real—she can dictate early with a clean first ball—but she’s still rebuilding reps after time out. If Bai lands a high first-serve percentage and keeps exchanges short, she can flip momentum; otherwise Guo’s rhythm and depth should accumulate scoreboard pressure. Scheduling leans Guo for sharpness yet introduces late-match fatigue risk if this turns into a physical baseline grind.
🔮 Prediction
Lean Guo Hanyu on form and volume, with Bai dangerous early if the serve clicks.
Pick: Guo Hanyu in three sets.
