Mirra Andreeva vs Nikola Bartunkova Preview

Mirra Andreeva beat fellow Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova to reach the China Open semifinals for the first time. In an extremely tight match, Andreeva rallied from 3-5 down in the opening set and went on to win in two tiebreak sets, just five minutes shy of two hours. In the victory, Andreeva hit 4 aces and committed 3 double faults. She landed 62% of first serves in play and won 71% of first serve points (40/56). She saved six of 10 break points in the match.

Nikola Bartunkova, for her part, upstaged fellow Czech Karolina Muchova to reach her first WTA 1000 semifinal at the China Open in Beijing. Bartunkova is currently enjoying her best two weeks at Tour level, thanks largely to defeating Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets earlier in the tournament, and backing it up with a clinical 6-3, 6-0 win over a fatigued Muchova.

Bartunkova took just 67 minutes to inflict a one-sided defeat on Muchova. She hit 3 aces in the match. Bartunkova landed 48% of first serves in play and won 67% of first-serve points (14/21). She won 74% of second serve points (17/23) and saved one of two break points she faced in the match.

Mirra Andreeva vs Nikola Bartunkova Prediction

Andreeva enters this match as the clear favorite, but Nikola Bartunkova is having the best two weeks of her life in Beijing. And what I find so impressive about her game is how she’s combining power with finesse. She’s not reliant on groundstrokes, but loves a drop shot or two and forward movement. And I think she must have learned a lot from playing Andreeva back at the US Open. After the week she’s had, beating Sabalenka and demolishing Muchova, I wouldn’t be shocked if she pulls off another upset.
