Dart vs Qu Prediction 1 October 2026
🔊 Harriet Dart and Yihang Qu meet in the first round of the women's tournament in Beijing. The match is played on outdoor hard courts, which traditionally favour quick rallies. Let's take a closer look at the form both players bring into this match.
Head-to-Head
📊 Harriet Dart and Yihang Qu have not previously met.
Harriet Dart Player Overview
Harriet Dart arrives in good form, with eight wins from her last ten matches. In qualifying she came through comfortably against Tiffanie Lorente and Esin Ma, before that she lost to Marie Bouzkova at the US Open. On average, Dart wins 59% of games and takes two-thirds of sets, pointing to a consistent edge over opponents at her level. Her hold rate, however, stands at just 52%, and her break-point conversion is 48%. There are also some issues with double faults, which account for 7% of all rallies. Despite her generally high level, dominant performances are relatively rare - only four bagel wins against two defeats without taking a set across her last ten matches.

Yihan Qu Player Overview
Yihang Qu has spent the past few months competing mainly on the junior and ITF circuits, winning five of her last ten matches. Her most recent win came at the tournament in Tianjin, where she defeated Ozeki Michika. Overall, Yihang Qu regularly wins more than half the games even against stronger opponents - her average games-won percentage stands at 54%. Over the same period, she covered the +6.5 games handicap in six of seven completed matches, losing in straight sets just once. At this level, she is capable of making things competitive against higher-ranked players through tight sets.
Match Results: Yihan Qu
Key factors
- Yihang Qu has covered the +6.5 games handicap in 6 of her last 7 matches.
- The average number of games per match for both players exceeds 20, which reduces the risk of a one-sided result.
- Harriet Dart has won only 67% of sets and 59% of games in her last 10 matches, which does not guarantee a comfortable victory.
- Yihang Qu has been competitive even against stronger opponents.
Expected scenario
Harriet Dart should control this match, though a comprehensive rout looks unlikely: she rarely wins by a large margin even against lower-ranked opponents. Yihang Qu consistently picks up enough games to cover a positive handicap, thanks to extended sets and an ability to make favourites work hard.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Harriet Dart's current form suggests she can win the match, but the key metrics give no clear indication of a dominant margin in games or sets. Yihang Qu regularly covers a positive handicap even against more experienced opponents, through competitive play in each set and a relative absence of bagel sets. The main scenario is a confident performance from the favourite without a lopsided scoreline - enough for the underdog's handicap line to come through. The pick is Yihang Qu - Games Handicap +6.5.
