Swiatek vs Wang Continental Cup Prediction 12/26/2025 Today’s Tennis Picks

World No. 2 Iga Swiatek will face World No. 57 Xinyu Wang at the World Tennis Continental Cup on Saturday, December 27. Here’s our Iga Swiatek vs Xinyu Wang prediction. This preview will also include an Iga Swiatek vs Xinyu Wang pick.

Iga Swiatek vs Xinyu Wang Preview

Iga Swiatek beat Elena Rybakina in straight sets in her opening match at the 2025 World Tennis Continental Cup exhibition. In their first meeting since the WTA Finals, where Rybakina demolished Swiatek, it was the Pole who took charge of their latest instalment.

Swiatek won 6-3, 6-3, managing to fend off Rybakina’s big serve and massive ground strokes with her supreme defense. However, this win does not count in their overall head-to-head record at the tour level as it is only an exhibition.

Xinyu Wang, meanwhile, fell to the WTA’s Comeback Player of the Year, Belinda Bencic, in three sets. Wang is playing on home soil in Shenzhen, and she surprisingly took the first set against the experienced Swiss 6-4.

But Bencic hit back to win a one-sided second set 6-2 before prevailing in a 10-point third set breaker 10-5. Defeat extends Wang’s losing streak to six matches. Her last match win was at the end of August when she beat Caroline Dolehide in the first round of the US Open.

Iga Swiatek vs Xinyu Wang Head-To-Head

Swiatek and Wang have faced off once before. That meeting was in the third round of the 2023 French Open. Swiatek won 6-0, 6-0 en route to the title.

Iga Swiatek vs Xinyu Wang Prediction

Wang will need no reminding of the only time she faced Swiatek. She suffered a truly brutal straight-sets loss. But on an indoor hard court on home turf, this might be a good setting to challenge Swiatek. Still, getting a result against the Pole who just breezed past an in-form Rybakina seems like a very tall order. Back Swiatek to make short work of Wang.
