Trending
Andreeva has had a standout season, boasting a 31-14 match record. She defeated Elina Avanesyan to claim her first career title at the Iasi Open in Romania. She also won the Olympic silver medal in women’s doubles alongside Diana Shnaider. Other highlights of her season include a semifinal finish at the French Open and reaching the fourth round at the Australian Open.
In her last event in Wuhan, Andreeva defeated Xiyu Wang in the first round but was beaten by her sister Erika Andreeva, 6-3, 6-1. The week before, she impressed in Beijing, making the quarterfinals before losing to local favorite Zheng Qinwen. She began her Ningbo campaign with a dominant 6-2, 6-0 win over Varvara Lepchenko.
Korpatsch in contrast, has had a challenging season, compiling a 10-27 record so far. Her best result was a quarterfinal appearance at the WTA 125K event in Germany, but she has struggled to secure back-to-back wins on the WTA tour. In her most recent main draw match in Beijing, she lost to Clara Burel in the first round.
Korpatsch made the Ningbo main draw through the qualifiers, defeating Liang En-shuo and top seed Kamilla Rakhimova. She then scripted a come-from-behind 6-7(4), 7-6 6), 6-4 win against Anna Bondar in the first round.

Mirra Andreeva vs Tamara Korpatsch prediction
Mirra Andreeva has been a breakout star this season, consistently impressing with her remarkable form at such a young age. Despite coming into Ningbo on the back of a disappointing loss in Wuhan, she bounced back immediately, delivering an all-round masterclass in her opener.
Andreeva won an outstanding 86% of her first-serve points, faced just two break points—saving both—and converted all five of her break-point chances. She also won 25 return points out of 55.
In contrast, Korpatsch has had a tough season and will be eager to end on a high note. She has gone 9-10 since Wimbledon and has struggled in main-draw matches, primarily against higher-ranked opponents.
Korpatsch has shown resilience in Ningbo so far, winning two of her three matches in three sets. Her impressive mental strength helped her recover from a set down in her last encounter, and she will be hoping to carry that momentum into her next round.
The young Russian will however be the overwhelming favorite given her much better form on tour this season.
Pick: Andreeva to win in straight sets.
