Upsets Continue as WTA Guangzhou Reaches Day 3
Guangzhou, china – day 3 of the WTA 250 Guangzhou Open promises competitive action as players vie for a rare prospect to make a deep run in a tournament notably absent of top-ranked stars. Several closely matched contests are slated for wednesday, featuring players who have already demonstrated their potential with first-round upsets.
the round of 16 includes intriguing matchups like Lulu Sun versus Yafan Wang,a first-time meeting between the players ranked #116 and #332 respectively,after both secured surprising victories in the opening round,with Sun even eliminating the tournament’s top seed. Xiyu Wang will face Elisabetta Cocciaretto, with Cocciaretto holding a 2-1 head-to-head advantage, though their last encounter occurred in May 2021. Local favorite Shuai Zhang will compete against Veronika Erjavec, entering the match with strong form during the Asian swing and the benefit of home-court advantage.
Ann Li, the highest-ranked player remaining in the draw, will battle Camila Osorio. Osorio leads their head-to-head 2-1, having recently defeated Li in a three-hour match in Beijing last month. A similarly grueling contest is anticipated.
