Maria Timofeeva and Xinran Sun have not previously met on tour.
Maria Timofeeva Player Overview
Maria Timofeeva arrives in good form, having won 8 of her last 10 matches. In the previous round of the Guangzhou tournament she came through comfortably against Teodora Kostovic.

Match Results: Maria Timofeeva
Xinran Sun Player Overview
Xinran Sun has also won eight of her last ten matches, but the overall quality of opposition was lower, and her defeats came against higher-ranked players. In her most recent loss, against Coco Gauff, she was unable to stay competitive through to the end of the match. The main concern is her serve: she held just 12% of her service games across the last ten matches, which is well below most players at this level. She has converted break points well (86%), but her first-serve percentage remains low at 55%. Against her opponent, these numbers look less convincing for a tournament of this level.
