Inglis vs Yao Prediction 28 September 2026
🔊 Maddison Inglis and Xinxin Yao open qualifying at the Beijing tournament. The two players will meet for the first time in an official match, on hard court. It promises to be an interesting contest, with recent form statistics playing an important role.
Head-to-Head
📊 Maddison Inglis and Xinxin Yao have no previous meetings on record.
Maddison Inglis Player Overview
Maddison Inglis arrives at the start of qualifying with six wins from her last ten matches, suggesting she is in reasonable form. In her most recent run, she beat Mai Hontama in the semi-finals but then lost to Tylie Preston in the Vancouver final and fell to Storm Hunter in the opening round of US Open qualifying. On serve, Inglis wins around 70% of service games, and her overall points-won percentage over this stretch is 51%. Her double-fault rate of 6% occasionally disrupts her service games. Despite a first-serve percentage of 69%, her matches have included both straight-sets wins and matches where she has dropped sets.
Match Results: Maddison Inglis
Xinxin Yao Player Overview
Xinxin Yao holds a lower ranking but has shown she can compete - four wins from her last ten matches, with a 50% set-winning rate. In her most recent run, she came through two qualifying rounds in Seoul in succession, beating Priscilla Hon and Miho Kuramochi before losing to Maya Joint. Her average games per match is above 24, and she wins close to half of all games played (49%). Despite a low ace rate (0.1), she is consistent on return and rarely suffers a run of heavy defeats. Even in losing matches, Yao frequently stays above her individual games total line.
Match Results: Xinxin Yao
Key factors
- Xinxin Yao has won more than 11.5 games in 7 of her last 8 matches.
- The average number of games in matches involving Xinxin Yao is 24.2.
- Xinxin Yao has won 49% of games played over her last 10 matches.
- Maddison Inglis does not always close out matches in straight sets.
Expected scenario
This looks like a fairly even match with potentially extended sets: both players are capable of holding serve regularly even against higher-ranked opponents. A third set cannot be ruled out, which increases the chances of Xinxin Yao exceeding her individual total of over 11.5 games.
Total Games Prediction
A clear tendency towards high game counts reflects the consistency of Xinxin Yao's performances even against higher-ranked opponents - she regularly exceeds this individual total line.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Recent results for both players suggest a straightforward win is unlikely here: Maddison Inglis does not always dominate across every set even against lower-ranked opponents, while Xinxin Yao frequently stays above the games threshold through tenacity and an ability to hold serve and win games regardless of the match result. That pattern gives reason to expect Xinxin Yao to clear her individual total again, either through competitive sets or the possibility of a three-set match. The pick is Xinxin Yao - Player Total Games Over 11.5.
