Who takes out the head to head?

Sawangkaew sits higher on the WTA rankings at world No. 80, bringing a 15-15 career record into this first-round matchup. However, the Thai right-hander is searching for rhythm after three consecutive defeats, most recently falling to Magdalena Frech on Mon, 12 Oct. Her YTD win rate sits at 33% across nine matches.

Sun jumps off the page with four wins from her last five outings overall, though her most recent result was a loss to Cori Gauff on Mon, 5 Oct. The Chinese prospect holds a 67% YTD win percentage (2-1) and has built solid momentum in her home matches, winning three straight prior to her last start. With zero prior head-to-head meetings on record, this head-to-head market presents a genuine opportunity for Sun as an underdog who rates a real chance.
