Veronika Kudermetova vs Xinyu Wang Prediction, Picks, Odds, H2H, Stats - 9/26/24

A Section 8 clash in the bottom bracket will bring Veronika Kudermetova and Xinyu Wang together for a second-round clash at the China Open on Thursday in Beijing.

Kudermetova carries the 32-seed into the second round of this WTA1000 event in China and we have a line move to discuss. Veronika was -130 early today and now we have a coinflip situation for this second-round affair.

Wang sent Kudermetova packing out of the Miami event earlier this season and EJ Garr’s Veronika Kudermetova vs Xinyu Wang prediction features odds at +102 on the Chinese underdog in Beijing.

If I could timestamp my bet from this morning for this match you would see I have +120 on Wang to upset Kudermetova fired up and pending. It is 9 PM in New York as I hand this piece in and when it arrives at the site in the morning who knows where this line could be?

I am hoping you still get a semblance of plus-money on the action toward Wang to win this match in a repeat performance from Miami this past Match. Wang beat Kudermetova in Miami at 3 and 2 in straight sets and I don’t think Veronika has the game to exact revenge in China. 

If you recall, Wang was ranked 32nd in September last season and today that number sits at 52nd on the WTA Tour. The Shenzhen native has alternated wins and losses over 8 outings and could use a confidence-building win in China to start this WTA1000 event.

Dismantling Mai Hontama in just over an hour should aid that emotion and I hope Wang uses it to take out Kudermetova on Thursday in Beijing. 

Kudemetova went 3 – 0 at the Korea Open and gave Haddad Maia a good battle before packing her bags for China, 6 – 4, 6 – 4. I’ll also put out there that I think this match is going 3-sets with Wang coming out of the fray into the third round. 

At +102 currently, I hope you catch a nice price on Wang to advance!

VERONIKA KUDERMETOVA RECENT FORM

Kudermetova was ranked inside the top 10 two years ago and a 16 – 21 campaign has left her hanging out at the 39th spot in the WTA Rankings.

Veronika is in danger of having a losing record for the first season since 2017 and at 27-years-old this is supposed to be a prime age for a great campaign. Kudermetova has had a winning record on all three surfaces for two straight years and the 3 – 5 clay record already ended that run.

XINYU WANG RECENT FORM

Wang has the confidence from beating Kudermetova in Miami and this line is moving in her favor as the day moves along. Once +120, Wang is closer to even money for the action to win this match so the early steam is on the Chinese native to progress.

Wang is 8 – 6 over the last 14 outings but one of those victories was against Jess Pegula at Wimbledon. That was the last time Wang produced a 3-game win streak but the 23-year-old is still holding on to a top 50 ranking (50).

Wang is 14 – 14 on hardcourts this year and the 27 – 22 record has her in a position to have a fifth straight winning campaign.   

KUDERMETOVA VS WANG HTH –  STAT OF THE MATCH

Xinyu Wang is 1 – 0 against Veronika Kudermetova after the win in Miami this past March.
