Oleksandr Oliinikov

The Ukrainian athlete is just getting used to WTA tournaments, she played at her debut major in Australia, where she had every chance to take the first game from Madison Keys herself, but eventually lost in the first round – 6:7, 1:6.

In Cluj-Napoca, the team of participants is no longer so formidable, so it was possible to reach the quarterfinals, which can be considered an acceptable result. Oliinikova started this tournament with a difficult victory over the Egyptian Mayar Sherif – 6:7, 6:4, 6:4, in the third game she managed to recover from 0:2. In the second round, the Ukrainian beat Hungarian Anna Bondar – 6:3, 6:3, after which she did not shake her opponent’s hand because of her participation in Russian tournaments. Oleynikova is known for her anti-war statements, her actions are also logical in this regard.

Wang Xinyu

The Chinese woman is showing an excellent start to the season, at the tournament in Oakland she reached the final, where she lost to Ukrainian Elina Svitolina. The tennis player showed herself well at the Australian Open Championship, where she reached the fourth round, where she lost to the strong American Amanda Anisimova in a fierce battle. Thanks to her successful performances, Wang made a jump in the ranking, managing to climb 24 positions from the start of the season.

In Cluj-Napoca, the Chinese woman is the fourth seed, she is considered a real contender for the title. Here, the tennis player started with a victory over the Spaniard Caitlin Quevedo – 6:3, 6:0, and then dealt with the Swiss Rebecca Masarova – 6:4, 6:2.

Forecast

As statistics show, female athletes have never played against each other before. The Chinese woman is rightly considered the favorite in the upcoming match, she has more experience in WTA tournaments, and she performs well.

Oleynikova also shows tennis of a solid level, so she will aim for victory. I am waiting for interesting tennis, where not everything is as clear as in the bookmakers’ quotes, I will bet on the success of the Ukrainian woman with a handicap of +4.5 games.
