Wang vs. Sherif Prediction at the Thailand Open - Tuesday, September 17

H2H: Sherif 1-0 Wang

Xinyu Wang and Mayar Sherif will face off in the first round of the WTA 250 Thailand Open on Tuesday, September 17. The match will be played on outdoor hard courts and is scheduled to start not before 04:00 AM EST.

Wang's Form and Profile

Wang is a 21-year-old Chinese tennis player who has been ranked as high as 113th in the world. She has won four ITF titles in her career, and she reached the semifinals of the WTA 250 tournament in Shenzhen earlier this year.

Wang has a good all-court game, but she is particularly strong on hard courts. She has a powerful serve and a good forehand, and she is also a good mover.

Sherif's Form and Profile

Sherif is a 26-year-old Egyptian tennis player who has been ranked as high as 50th in the world. She has won two ITF titles in her career, and she reached the third round of the Australian Open earlier this year.

Sherif is a solid all-court player, but she is particularly strong on clay courts. She has a good serve and a good forehand, and she is also a good mover.

Prediction

This is a close match to call, but I give a slight edge to Sherif. She has more experience at the WTA level, and she is in better form at the moment.

Sherif also has a good head-to-head record against Wang, having won their only previous meeting in straight sets. I predict that Sherif will win in three sets.
