Elena Rybakina, the WTA world number one and reigning champion, will defend her Ningbo Open title in the tournament final.
Rybakina will face Leylah Fernandez after the unseeded Canadian secured her place in the championship match by defeating Czech player Marie Bouzkova in the semifinal.
The result sets up a contrast in form and ranking: Rybakina arrives as the top-ranked player and title-holder, while Fernandez progresses through the draw as an unseeded contender. Both players will now prepare for the decisive match for the title.
The final will conclude the Ningbo Open singles competition, with Rybakina aiming to retain the trophy and Fernandez looking to capitalise on her run to capture the tournament crown.
