Yulia Putintseva vs Alina Charaeva prediction
Yulia Putintseva will face underdog Alina Charaeva for a spot in the quarter-finals.
The ninth seed took down Claire Liu 7-5 6-2 to set up a meeting with the world number 118, Charaeva who defeated Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva 6-0 6-1.
That was the Armenian’s first ever main draw win and while that is a milestone moment we don’t envisage it being a case of London buses for the 24-year-old with Putintseva’s experience and recent form likely to be trump cards in this match-up.
