The WTA Jiangxi Open wraps up today with a final that probably nobody predicted on paper, and we've got our take on how it plays out under clear skies in Jiujiang.
WTA Jiangxi Open Predictions
Xiaodi You vs En Shuo Liang
Head-to-head: You 0-3 Liang
The rankings say You should win this comfortably, but the head-to-head tells a completely different story. Liang is 3-0 against her and that's not a small sample size for two players at this level. You coming in ranked 221 spots higher and still losing every single meeting is the kind of thing that gets in your head going into a final.
Liang has clearly been the player of the tournament this week and whatever she's been doing against You specifically has worked every time. Hard to see You making this truly competitive given that history. That said, Liang has too much history in this matchup, including a dominant run through the draw this week, to let it slip now.
Prediction: Liang in 3
