Bernarda Pera vs Han Shi prediction
Bernarda Pera showcased strong form in her opener here at the Hong Kong Open, building on her recent success in the Asian hardcourt swing that has seen her amass an impressive 6-2 match record so far. With a favorable draw in her quarter, she seems well-positioned to reach the semifinals if she maintains this momentum.
Han Shi has also impressed, not dropping a single setup until now and showcasing dominant performances both on serve and return. Her aggressive approach, marked by early ball strikes and net play, could prove to be a challenge against a consistent baseliner like Pera.
This second-round clash promises an intriguing battle, with Pera looking to leverage her seeding advantage and Han aiming to extend her recent WTA success. While Han’s momentum is undeniable, Pera's experience and extensive time on the professional circuit give her a slight edge.
Pick : Pera to win in straight sets.
