Iga Swiatek vs Marie Bouzkova preview
Second-seeded Iga Swiatek will face the Czech Republic's Marie Bouzkova in the second round of the 2025 Wuhan Open on Tuesday (October 7).
Trending
The six-time Major winner is looking to win her first-ever title in Wuhan this week following a shock fourth-round defeat to 14th-seeded Emma Navarro at the China Open last week. Although the nature of her loss, which included a third-set bagel (6-0 set), was alarming to say the least, the World No. 2 still boasts of a 16-2 win/loss record on hardcourts dating back to her Cincinnati Open triumph in August.
Bouzkova, meanwhile, is a few years removed from her career-best 2022 season that saw her reach a career-high WTA ranking of 24. However, that didn't deter the 27-year-old from winning her second-career singles title at the Prague Open in July. More recently, she reached the fourth round of the China Open before beating Colombia's Camila Osorio 6-3, 6-4 earlier on Monday to match her tournament-best result at the Wuhan Open.

Iga Swiatek vs Marie Bouzkova prediction
Swiatek's recent change to a hard-hitting game will likely be complemented well by the medium-paced courts in Wuhan. That said, a sense of control on the 24-year-old's groundstrokes should aid her even more in a dominant victory.
Bouzkova doesn't have either her higher-ranked opponent's firepower or variety from the back of the court. What the World No. 41 does have, though, is a stable counterpunching playing style. Although this type of playing style often forces Swiatek into spraying uncharacteristic errors, her track record in early-round matches has considerably since the first half of 2025. In that regard, the second seed is the overwhelming favorite to take this match-up comfortably on Tuesday.
Pick: Swiatek to win in straight sets.
