World No. 90 Caty McNally will face World No. 53 Laura Siegemund in the first round of the 2025 China Open in Beijing. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, September 24. Here’s our Caty McNally vs Laura Siegemund prediction. This preview will also include a Caty McNally vs Laura Siegemund pick.

Caty McNally vs Laura Siegemund Preview

Caty McNally is ranked 90th in the WTA rankings and is taking part in the China Open in Beijing for the first time. McNally is coming off a great season so far, compiling 42 wins at all levels and only 17 defeats. She has picked up two titles, one on the ITF Tour and the other at the WTA 125K level in Newport Beach.

McNally is a solid 17-8 on hard courts this season and began participation at the Asian in Seoul, where she qualified for the WTA 500 event without losing a set, but succumbed to a three-set defeat in the opening round to Diana Shnaider. 

Laura Siegemund is ranked 53rd in the rankings and is competing in the Beijing main draw for the fourth time in her career. She has reached the second round stage once, and lost in the opening round twice in this tournament, including last season.

Siegemund is even in 2025, with 20 wins and 20 losses. Her best result is undoubtedly the quarterfinal run at Wimbledon, where she beat Leylah Fernandez and Madison Keys in back-to-back rounds. Siegemund also made the third round of the US Open, which was a respectable showing. The German veteran began her preparations for this swing, playing in Seoul this past week. She lost in the first round to Sofia Kenin in three sets.

Caty McNally vs Laura Siegemund Head-To-Head

McNally and Siegemund have met once on the WTA level. Siegemund beat the American in straight sets in a first-round match in Auckland five years ago.

Caty McNally vs Laura Siegemund Prediction

This will be the second meeting between McNally and Siegemund, and it has been five years since their first. McNally is much more experienced on tour and should give a better account of herself in this match, and I think she’s got the tools to win. She’s played great tennis this year, and it has taken some of the very best on tour to defeat her.
