Zhibek Kulambayeva is the clear favorite against Ye Shiyu in their WTA Huzhou Open qualifying match. Kulambayeva's higher ranking and strong recent form on clay suggest a comfortable victory.
ATS PREDICTION
Zhibek Kulambayeva Win
Predicted: 2-0
60%
Zhibek Kulambayeva enters this match with a significantly higher WTA singles ranking of 397, compared to Ye Shiyu's ranking of 863. Kulambayeva has demonstrated strong recent form on clay, securing an 89% win rate on this surface in 2026 and winning the W15 Nagpur ITF title. In contrast, Ye Shiyu has a less consistent recent record, losing 5 of her last 10 matches.

60%
Given Zhibek Kulambayeva's superior ranking and impressive 89% win rate on clay in 2026, she is expected to control the match.
