Yulia Putintseva vs Tereza Valentova prediction
Yulia Putintseva was in Billie Jean King Cup action for Kazhakstan, winning both of her singles matches in the tie against Canada. This included a tight three set victory over 2019 US Open champion Bianca Andreescu. Putintseva reached the second-round at events in Charleston, Indian Wells and Miami, but she is yet to make a breakthrough at a tournament since her fine showing at the Australian Open, which saw her progress to the round-of-16 for the first time in her career.
She faces Tereza Valentova. The young Czech has not competed on the tour since her second-round defeat in Miami to Diana Shnaider. Aside from a third-round appearance in Melbourne, Valentova has been unable to kick on this year after a promising 2025.
Putintseva has found a way of picking up results this season, despite not being at her absolute best. Valentova has been out of action for over a month, and she will need to get up to speed quickly.
