Guangzhou Predictions & Picks — October 28, 2026

A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Paula Badosa goes up against Sinja Kraus in the Guangzhou round of 16. Paula Badosa has won 6 of the last 10. Sinja Kraus comes in at 6 wins from the last ten.

The serve is where this match separates: Badosa has been winning 65% of first-serve points to Kraus's 58.7%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. Badosa should have enough here, though Kraus has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.

Wednesday's Guangzhou round of 32 pits Katerina Siniakova against Lanlana Tararudee on hard. Katerina Siniakova is rolling — 4 straight wins, 6 of 10 in recent play. Lanlana Tararudee comes in at 5 wins from the last ten.

Katerina Siniakova simply rates much higher on hard, and our number follows from it. The edge belongs to Siniakova — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.

Wednesday's Guangzhou round of 16 pits Harriet Dart against Janice Tjen on hard. Janice Tjen limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 4 wins in 10. Harriet Dart comes in at 4 wins from the last ten.

Hold strength tells the story — 68.5% versus 63.6% on first-serve points in Tjen's favor. Tjen arrives with very little recovery time. Expect resistance, but the match-level math tilts clearly toward Tjen.
