Donna Vekic v Dayana Yastremska Head to Head
Yastremska holds a 1-0 lead over Vekic, last defeating the Croat in the 2017 St. Petersburg Open.
Yastremska, Seeking a Good Run in Zhuhai
The 19-year-old Yastremska has had a wonderful season this season – something that a lot of experienced players on the tour would be envious of. Starting the year outside the top 50, she moved on to reach her career-best ranking as World No. 23.
With two singles titles in from the Hua Hin Championships and WTA Strasbourg, the young Ukrainian has cemented herself one of the rising stars on the tour and a player to look forward to in 2020. In many ways, her talents and skills are still raw and are in need of more fine-tuning. With every game she plays, she is becoming a better player and a definite threat to her opponents.
With a strike-rate of 34-21, her best performances include reaching the quarterfinal in Wuhan and Tianjin, and the fourth round in the Wimbledon. She has also defeated a few top players like Garbine Muguruza, Aryna Sabalenka, and Karolina Pliskova in the season.
Yastremska is among the youngest players in the field in Zhuhai and it will be intriguing to see how far she manages to go.

A Must Win Tie for Vekic
Playing in her second match in Zhuhai, Donna Vekic now faces a Herculean task of winning this fixture to stay in the competition. Facing Kiki Bertens in the opener, she lost to the Dutch in straight sets in 7-6(5), 6-2.
Even though Vekic hasn’t won a title this season, she still had a season to be proud of. She became World No. 20 and reached two big finals in the St. Petersburg Open and Nottingham Open. Apart from that, she also defeated a few top players like Petra Kvitova. However, on the opposite side of this fantastic-looking spectrum, she lost in the early rounds on multiple occasions.
It is for this reason that her win-loss tally stands at 35-22, also exacerbated by her harrowing performance in the Asian swing and most recently, the Kremlin Cup in Moscow. In many of these matches, Vekic fell to lowly-ranked players like Misaki Doi, Kristina Mladenovic, Ons Jabeur, among others.
Yastremska v Vekic Predictions & Tips
This one is going to be a tricky match for the Croat. Given her form and recent momentum, Yastremska may very well get one up on her and knock her out of the competition altogether. Expect some competitive, fierce tennis from the two players.
