WTA Guangzhou Day 2 Predictions Including Alycia Parks vs Ajla Tomljanovic

Alycia Parks will attempt to end her seven-match losing streak against Ajla Tomljanovic in the first round of the WTA Guangzhou. That is one of 12 matches on Day 2 of the event. As always, we here at LWOT predict every match on the slate, including Yulia Putintseva vs Alina Korneeva and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs Lulu Sun. But who will advance?

WTA Guangzhou Day 2 Predictions

Alexandra Eala vs Claire Liu

Head-to-head: first meeting

A Top 50 debut beckons for Alexandra Eala after a breakout season on the WTA Tour. The 20-year-old is three spots away after a sensational 2025 in which she earned multiple Top 10 wins, reached her first Tour-level final, and captured her biggest title in the Guadalajara 125K. Claire Liu is languishing outside the Top 300 after struggling for consistency in results and fitness, but the American has what it takes to beat some of the tour’s rising stars and showed her veteran know-how in knocking out Linda Fruhvirtova and Jimenez Kasintseva in qualifying. With Eala chasing her first win in four matches, this is bound to be a tough test for the Filipina.
Prediction: Eala in 3

Polina Kudermetova vs Tiantsoa Sarah Rakotomanga Rajaonah

Head-to-head: first meeting

Rakotomanga Rajaonah etched her name as one of the WTA’s first-time champions this season. The French lefty’s title success in Sao Paulo was an unexpected triumph. But at this stage of their careers, Polina Kudermetova is just more seasoned at the Tour level. The Russian’s depth and explosive backhand are among her strongest attributes and can be uncontrollable when she is on. Expect Kudermetova to cruise to victory.
Prediction: Kudermetova in 2

Ella Seidel vs Leolia Jeanjean

Head-to-head: Jeanjean 1-0 Seidel

Leolia Jeajean defeated Ella Seidel in the Australian Open qualifying tournament back in January. But it’s clear that Seidel has since shown admirable improvement in results and mentality in the past nine months and is in better form ahead of their second meeting. Jeanjean is the higher-ranked player by a couple of places, but Seidel sits higher in the WTA race in 83rd spot, showing she’s outperformed the Frenchwoman in 2025. She packs a punch with a big serve and an aggressive forehand, and that could set the tone for her 43rd victory of the season.
Prediction: Seidel in 2

Alycia Parks vs Ajla Tomljanovic

Head-to-head: first meeting

Alycia Parks is now winless in seven matches. Her last win at the Tour level was in late August when she beat Rebecca Sramkova in Monterrey. What is even more concerning, Parks has not won a single set in that barren spell. Ajla Tomljanovic is showing some signs of a resurgence. She reached the quarterfinals of Ningbo as a qualifier and was only beaten by the eventual champion Elena Rybakina. If Parks’ game clicks, she can hit through most players from the baseline, but the American’s shot selection remains suspect, and her power is unpredictable.
Prediction: Tomljanovic in 2
