Xiyu Wang v Hailey Baptiste Head to Head
They have never met previously.
Also Read:
Wang is 3-7 in 2023
Xiyu Wang has struggled in the first quarter. The Chinese player brings a 3-7 season record to Charleston.
Wang’s three wins came over Alison Riske in Merida, Olga Danilovic in Indian Wells and Brenda Fruhvirtova in Miami.
The left-handed Chinese player has not won consecutive matches this year and as a result of her inconsistent performances she has fallen out of the top 50 once again after reaching a career-high ranking of no. 49 earlier in January.
The 22-year-old had a 41-25 season record last year. She reached her maiden WTA 125 final in Valencia, finishing runner-up to Qinwen Zheng in the clay court tournament. She also reached three ITF finals last year, all on clay, but finished runner-up in each of them.
Can Wang end her struggles and return to form in Charleston?

Baptiste Qualifies for the Main Draw
Hailey Baptiste made it to the main draw of the tournament with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Heather Watson in the second qualifying round on Sunday.
The world no. 275 had also won her first qualifying round match in straight sets, handing Mexico’s Marcela Zacarías a 6-1, 6-2 drubbing.
Baptiste is 11-10 across levels this year, with most of her wins coming in the ITF tournaments. She reached two ITF semifinals this year in Canberra and Santo Domingo-5.
At the tour level, Baptiste is 0-1 having lost in the opening round in Miami to Victorija Golubic.
The 21-year-old will be making her third main draw appearance in Charleston and she has reached the second round on both the previous occasions. Will she reach the second round once again?
Wang v Baptiste Prediction and Tip
The Chinese player is the superior player but she is not in the best of forms this year. So this is expected to be a close contest. Wang should eventually come out on top.
