Youku Sports Channel is streaming live the WTA250 Cluj-Napoca quarterfinal between Wang Xinyu and Oliniikova.

The match is played in a best-of-three sets format; currently, they are in the first set where Wang Xinyu leads Oliniikova 2-0 in points.

Who will win this match to reach the semifinals? In my opinion, it’s most likely Wang Xinyu. She is the fourth seed in this tournament and clearly stronger than her opponent Oliniikova. Wang Xinyu also holds a higher world ranking, has undergone winter training, and reached the Australian Open round of 16. In every aspect, Wang Xinyu has the upper hand. The only downside is that she is playing two matches in one day, which might affect her stamina. My prediction is Wang Xinyu will win 2-0 and advance.

Additionally, at 11 PM tonight, the WTA250 Cluj-Napoca doubles semifinal will feature Wang Xinyu and Zheng Saisai. Tomorrow at 1:10 AM, in the women’s singles quarterfinal, Yuan Yue will face Snigur. I really feel for Wang Meiren—her singles match starts at 8 PM tonight and will last at least an hour and a half, with barely any rest in between. Please take care and avoid injury, Wang Meiren!
