Camila Osorio vs Ajla Tomljanovic Preview
Camila Osorio is taking part at the China Open in Beijing for the first time. The Colombian is ranked 59th in the world rankings, which is down from her previous career-high of No. 33.
Osorio has won two WTA titles in her career, both coming from her native Colombia in Bogota. She captured her most recent trophy this year during the clay swing. Osorio is coming off a semifinal showing in Guadalajara, where she lost to in-form Aussie Olivia Gadecki. Overall, she has won four of her last seven matches on hard courts coming to Beijing.
Ajla Tomljaovic is making just her second main draw appearance at the China Open in Beijing. Her first was in 2019, when she was eliminated in the second round. Tomljanovic is currently outside the world’s Top 100 in the WTA rankings, largely because she missed some months in the first half of the season because of an injury.
Tomljanovic has won two of her last six matches on hard courts, a run that includes a defeat to Osorio in Monterrey. The Australian is a lowly 14-16 for the season in all competitions and has not won a WTA title in her career.

Camila Osorio vs Ajla Tomljanovic Prediction
This will be a clash of styles, as Tomljanovic is known for being a serial power hitter armed with a big serve. Osorio is a smart tactician who uses the full width of the court with her tricks. While she may not have the power to match, the Colombian has greater depth and placement, which will be vital in securing another win over Tomljanovic. But backing the Australian means you can more than double your stake here. This is a big match for both players, who should be ranked higher in the standings.
