Wang Breaks into the Top 40
Wang’s having the time of her life and when the latest WTA Rankings are released on Monday, she would have broken into the top 40 for the first time in her career.
She had gone into the US Open week ranked 53rd – which was also her career-best ranking – and she propped that up very nicely with a fourth round appearance at the US Open.
Earlier in the American hardcourt season, Wang had won an ITF title before making it through to the quarterfinal of the Cleveland Open despite starting out as a qualifier. All of this had looked like a distant dream for Wang when she was ranked 89th in the first month of the season but the turnaround has been a stark one.
The question now is if Wang can end the season on a high, adding to her tally of ranking points and attempting to break into the top 30. She is a 2/5 favourite here with bet365 to win this opener.

Teichmann Form Has Nose-Dived
It was in January this year that Teichmann was still in the top 30 of the rankings with a season-high of 28th for her.
Fast-forward eight months and Teichmann’s struggles have been so profound that she has fallen to 148th at the moment. Never known for her performances on hardc0urt surfaces, Teichmann has struggled on clay this season too and has now been forced to feature in qualifiers of WTA events and ITF events.
She enters this tournament in Osaka on the back of a second round loss at the Lausanne Open, an opening qualifier defeat at the US Open and a first round defeat in an ITF event in Tokyo leading to question-marks over her chances at the end of this season.
Teichmann is 2/1 (at bet365) to win this and the chances of that happening seem bleak against a player who has been in the form of her life.
Wang v Teichmann Prediction and Tip
This looks like it would have only one winner and that’s Wang who starts off a heavy favourite. At 2/5, it’s not too bad an option to go with her.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Wang to win: 2/5 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Under 21.5 games in the match: 5/6 (with bet365)
