The Italian number 2 seed (WTA 8) beat the Russian Veronika Kudermetova 6:2, 7:5 in her opening match on Thursday.
Unlike Paolini, Bencic has already won two matches, the second on Wednesday after more than three and a half hours against the Ukrainian qualifier Yulia Starodubtseva. Bencic leads the head-to-head with Paolini with 2:1 wins. However, the 28-year-old Swiss had no chance in their last duel at the United Cup in the run-up to the Australian Open (1:6, 1:6).
