Xiyu Wang vs. Elisabetta Cocciaretto
- Head-to-head: Cocciaretto leads 2-1
Xiyu Wang and Elisabetta Cocciaretto promise another tight match.

Prediction: Zhang in 2 sets.
Camila Osorio vs. Ann Li
- Head-to-head: Osorio leads 2-1
Ann Li, the highest-ranked player remaining in the tournament, faces a challenging opponent in Camila Osorio. The two last met in Beijing, where Osorio clinched victory in a marathon match lasting over three hours. Li will likely seek vengeance in this encounter, making it a highly anticipated match.
