Beijing's Round of 32 brings a compelling matchup to LOTUS COURT on October 4, and both women arrive carrying momentum. Polina Kudermetova has won back-to-back three-setters in the Chinese capital, grinding past Yexin Ma on September 30 before edging Clara Tauson 2-1 two days later. Mirra Andreeva also needed every inch in her opener, outlasting Yue Yuan in a deciding set after a September stretch that split wins over Anastasia Potapova and a narrow loss to Coco Gauff.

History, though, is thin and one-sided. These two have met only once on tour, back in May 2023, when Andreeva won in straight sets. Kudermetova's W-W-L run, with the lone defeat coming against Linda Fruhvirtova in August, marks her strongest stretch since that meeting.

Watchlist
  • Whether Kudermetova can extend her Beijing run after three-set wins over Yexin Ma and Clara Tauson.
  • How Andreeva handles another tight contest after her deciding-set win over Yue Yuan and narrow loss to Coco Gauff.
  • Whether the lone 2023 H2H, a straight-sets Andreeva win, still shapes this matchup.
