Winning the title in Korea could be crucial to her chances of overtaking Aryna Sabalenka at No. 1 before the season finishes. Her match with Sorana Cirstea is among the three predicted in this article. We here at LWOT predict the rest of the action, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2025\/09\/17\/wta-seoul-day-4-predictions-raducanu-krejcikova\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">including Emma Raducanu vs Barbora Krejcikova<\/a>, separately.<\/p>\n<p>WTA Seoul Day 4 Predictions<br \/>\nDiana Shnaider vs Suzan Lamens<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: Shnaider 1-0 Lamens<\/p>\n<p>Lamens is never intimidated by any opponent, regardless of their ranking. The Dutchwoman proved that by pushing Swiatek to three sets at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/category\/us-open\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">US Open<\/a> a few weeks ago. Shnaider fought through her opening round in three sets against Caty McNally, a dangerous opponent in good form. The 21-year-old can match Lamens\u2019s aggression at her best while remaining steadier and more controlled. I am backing <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2025\/08\/24\/diana-shnaider-wins-first-wta-title-of-2025-in-monterrey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">last month\u2019s Monterrey Open champion<\/a> to do that and progress.<br \/>Prediction: Shnaider in 2<\/p>\n<p>Daria Kasatkina vs Katerina Siniakova<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: Kasatkina 6-1 Siniakova<\/p>\n<p>The head-to-head, including being 0-3 on hard courts, makes this a challenging mental matchup for Siniakova. In their previous meetings, the easily frustrated Czech struggled to stay the course against the gritty Kasatkina. Her last two defeats were in the deciding set, showing she can compete with Kasatkina before her concentration falters. Siniakova has a chance if her backhand fires and she exploits the No. 4 seed\u2019s weak second serve, but Kasatkina starts as the favorite.<br \/>Prediction: Kasatkina in 3<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" id=\"chkD_tknTdpllwdAceP_uQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2232257275\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Iga Swiatek vs Sorana Cirstea<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: Swiatek 5-0 Cirstea<\/p>\n<p>Swiatek has won ten consecutive sets against Cirstea. The Romanian possesses the aggressive style that Swiatek has sometimes struggled against, but she has not been able to implement it well enough to worry her illustrious opponent. Swiatek\u2019s significantly improved form since the grass-court swing makes Cirstea\u2019s upset chances even more minute. I expect the six-time Grand Slam winner to handle this match swiftly and efficiently.<br \/>Prediction: Swiatek in 2<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iga Swiatek\u2019s first match since the US Open will occur on Day 4 of the WTA event in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[21898,66955,66956,66957,810,66958,6544,64546,52196,66959,101,66960,66961,118,30554,30555,56,54,55,64551],"class_list":{"0":"post-145074","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-daria-kasatkina","9":"tag-daria-kasatkina-predictions","10":"tag-diana-shnaider","11":"tag-diana-shnaider-predictions","12":"tag-iga-swiatek","13":"tag-iga-swiatek-predictions","14":"tag-katerina-siniakova","15":"tag-katerina-siniakova-predictions","16":"tag-sorana-cirstea","17":"tag-sorana-cirstea-predictions","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-suzan-lamens","20":"tag-suzan-lamens-predictions","21":"tag-tennis","22":"tag-tennis-picks","23":"tag-tennis-predictions","24":"tag-uk","25":"tag-united-kingdom","26":"tag-unitedkingdom","27":"tag-wta-seoul-predictions"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
