Elina Avanesyan vs Yulia Putintseva prediction
Elina Avanesyan brushed aside former champion Arantxa Rus to reach the next round of the Hamburg Open. She dropped just three games on her way to winning 6-2 6-1. The Armenian, who sits outside the top 200 in the world rankings, also won her two matches in qualifying, and is now on a three-match unbeaten run.
She will take on Yulia Putintseva next. The Kazakhstani defeated Mona Barthel in straight sets to set up a meeting with Avanesyan. She dominated the first set but was forced to dig deep in the second, saving two set points as she sealed a 6-2 7-6 (5) victory. Putintseva’s highlight of the season so far was her run to the round-of-16 at the Australian Open, her best ever result in Melbourne.
Avanesyan looked incredibly sharp during her dismantling of Rus in the opening round, but Putintseva does have the psychological advantage as she leads 2-0 in the head-to-head, which includes a three set win at the Australian Open last year. This could be another tight match between the pair.
