Clara Burel vs Yulia Putintseva prediction

Yulia Putintseva will hope her greater match sharpness will give her the edge over Clara Burel.

The Kazakhstani had a drop off last year but seems to be back on track and is already a couple of wins off surpassing last season’s tally.

The world number 84 sits way above her French opponent, who is down at 702 having struggled to play consistently over the past two years.

Burel was previously as high as 42 in the rankings, so does have the quality deep down, but hasn’t quite got her level back yet and Putintseva should have tough much over the distance.
