Top seed Mirra Andreeva will face home wild card Zhu Lin in the second round of the 2025 Ningbo Open. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, October 15. Here’s our Mirra Andreeva vs Zhu Lin prediction. This preview will also include a Mirra Andreeva vs Zhu Lin pick.

Mirra Andreeva vs Zhu Lin Preview

Mirra Andreeva is the top seed at the Ningbo Open. She received a bye in the first round and will therefore face Zhu Lin to begin her campaign this week. Andreeva is making her second appearance in this tournament. She was the runner-up in last year’s edition, where she lost the final to Daria Kasatkina in three sets.

Andreeva has had a fantastic 2025 season winning 40 matches and losing only 15 times. She has captured two prestigious WTA 1000s in Dubai and Indian Wells, beating the likes of Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka. That early season has since faded with Andreeva failing to make the quarterfinals in each of her last four tournaments on hard courts. She is coming off a shock second round defeat in Wuhan to Laura Siegemund.

Zhu Lin won her opening match, beating Emma Raducanu in three sets. The Chinese wild card lost the first set 6-3 in 55 minutes, but she recovered to win the second set 6-4. Lin was the better player in the third set where she broke Raducanu’s serve three times to wrap up a 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 win in two hours and 26 minutes. 

In the victory, Lin hit 6 aces and 4 double faults. She landed 63% of first serves in play and won 59% of first serve points (30/51). Lin won 53% of second serve points (16/30) and saved two of eight break points. This was her first victory in this tournament since 2014 when she last played in it.

Mirra Andreeva vs Zhu Lin Head-To-Head

Andreeva and Lin have met once on the WTA level. That meeting happened at the 2025 China Open. Andreeva won in two sets.

Mirra Andreeva vs Zhu Lin Prediction

Andreeva faces a potentially important week as she bids to qualify for the WTA Finals. She cannot afford an early exit in Ningbo as each of Rybakina and Paolini is chasing the two remaining spots in the race. That being said, I am expecting a reaction from Andreeva after a tough loss in Wuhan.

Nur Said's Pick: Andreeva in straight sets
