Coco Gauff\u2019s former doubles partner, Caty McNally, continues her WTA Guangzhou campaign on Day 4 against two-time Wimbledon<\/a> quarterfinalist Ajla Tomljanovic. This article predicts four of the eight round-of-16 matches. We at LWOT predict the rest of the action, including Yulia Putintseva vs Ella Seidel<\/a>, separately.<\/p>\n

WTA Guangzhou Day 4 Predictions
\nLulu Sun vs Yafan Wang<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

Sun played very well to defeat the No. 1 seed Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 7-6 7-6. The New Zealander will have even more control in the rallies against an opponent who does not hit with overwhelming pace. Although Wang is adept at grinding out results and frustrating bigger hitters, I think Sun will have enough to handle that challenge.
Prediction: Sun in 2<\/p>\n

Claire Liu vs Anna Bondar<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

Both women were involved in the two most exciting matches of the tournament so far. Bondar defeated Hanyu Guo in a deciding set tiebreak, while Liu recovered to beat Miami Open semifinalist Alexandra Eala. Although each contest was dramatic, Liu played much better against Eala than Bondar did against Guo. Despite the Hungarian\u2019s better overall CV, I like Liu\u2019s chances with her aggressive style.
Prediction: Liu in 3<\/p>\n

Shuai Zhang vs Veronika Erjavec<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

36-year-old Zhang had not consistently played in singles this year until the Asian swing, but has performed impressively, including beating Emma Navarro and Sorana Cirstea in Wuhan. The veteran\u2019s best level would be good enough to win this match if she finds it. Erjavec does not have the same tennis IQ, although she is a fighter with a great attitude, which gives her some hope.
Prediction: Zhang in 3<\/p>\n

Caty McNally vs Ajla Tomljanovic<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: McNally 1-0 Tomljanovic<\/p>\n

Tomljanovic overcame No. 5 seed Alycia Parks in the opening round. That was the American\u2019s eighth consecutive loss without winning a set, making the victory slightly less impressive. McNally will try to unsettle the Australian by coming to the net and mixing up the pace. That does not suit Tomljanovic, who is most adept at outrallying opponents. I think McNally will apply enough pressure to triumph.
Prediction: McNally in 3<\/p>\n
