In theory whoever wins the second semi final should go on and win the event. DTM is expecting Victoria Mboko to be a touch fresher and have the better serve to edge her battle with Leylah Fernandez. Her comfortable quarter final match will also help her to be fresh for this crucial match in Hong Kong.
DTM recommends
V.Mboko to beat L.Fernandez

DTM is all in on Victoria Mboko. She has not yet hit her top form but her desire to win has shone through and after two gutsy wins the signs look good as she now faces the tough match ups.
Anna Kalinskaya then possibly Leylah Fernandez is no easy task given the top names are absent at this WTA 250 level. However Mboko's serve means she wi
DTM is all in on Victoria Mboko. She has not yet hit her top form but her desire to win has shone through and after two gutsy wins the signs look good as she now faces the tough match ups.
Anna Kalinskaya then possibly Leylah Fernandez is no easy task given the top names are absent at this WTA 250 level. However Mboko's serve means she will have a good shot at making the final given both opponents are not that reliable on serve. Back Mboko to meet Fernandez in the semi finals.
DTM recommends
L.Fernandez to beat S.Cirstea
V.Mboko to beat A.Kalinskaya

Anna Kalinskaya is capable of a run of wins and Hong Kong could be the event. She is certainly hitting the ball well enough. She should take care of Shuai Zhang. Vicky Mboko overcame a tough first round match so hopefully she will unleash her game on Eala whose serve will come under serious threat in this match up.

A.Kalinskaya to beat S.Zhang
V.Mboko to beat A.Eala

Leylah Fernandez has played a lot of matches and produced some great tennis in recent weeks. She is a solid favourite to win through her last 16 match with Eva Lys. However DTM believes Lys has a great shot at a victory here:) Her tennis has been very strong especially her defeat of Rybakina in Beijing. Fernandez may well be ready for a r
Leylah Fernandez has played a lot of matches and produced some great tennis in recent weeks. She is a solid favourite to win through her last 16 match with Eva Lys. However DTM believes Lys has a great shot at a victory here:) Her tennis has been very strong especially her defeat of Rybakina in Beijing. Fernandez may well be ready for a rest so hopefully the German will reward DTM followers:) Elsewhere the Spaniard Cristina Bucsa will have too much for Arango.

E.Lys to beat L.Fernandez
C.Bucsa to beat E.Arango

A lot of the first round match ups have a clear favourite and appear rather one sided. Vicky Mboko has been cut from 14/1 to 8/1 already so those who took DTM's advice on Saturday will be happy. Her first round match looks straight forward enough:) It will also be in straight sets. Yesterday's results saw no real shocks so don;t forget to

Dalma Galfi has a big game which could if it fires upset Sorana Cirstea who has been recently added to the draw as a wildcard. Cirstea has shown some good form in 2025 but this is the type of opponent that could hurt her on serve. Another interesting match is a repeat of Guangzhou last week. Shuai Zhang against Veronika Erjavec. Zhang had
Dalma Galfi has a big game which could if it fires upset Sorana Cirstea who has been recently added to the draw as a wildcard. Cirstea has shown some good form in 2025 but this is the type of opponent that could hurt her on serve. Another interesting match is a repeat of Guangzhou last week. Shuai Zhang against Veronika Erjavec. Zhang had a lot of help from the line calls to say the least. Without the help of human errors Erjavec may have the answer here:)

D.Galfi to beat S.Cirstea

Belinda Bencic is the #1 seed but may pull out if she wins the final in Tokyo ? Leylah Fernandez is the #2 seed. She has also played a lot of tennis and may well struggle to go deep one more time. A more likely threat in the bottom half is Vicky Mboko. Having had a poor run she has stormed back to form last week pushing Elena Rybakina as
Belinda Bencic is the #1 seed but may pull out if she wins the final in Tokyo ? Leylah Fernandez is the #2 seed. She has also played a lot of tennis and may well struggle to go deep one more time. A more likely threat in the bottom half is Vicky Mboko. Having had a poor run she has stormed back to form last week pushing Elena Rybakina as close as anyone. Her win against Eva Lys was possibly even more impressive. If the same player turns up she will be the most likely winner.
DTM recommends
V.Mboko to win
