Yulia Putintseva vs Yuliia Starodubtseva prediction

Yulia Putintseva will hope a run of just two defeats in her last eight across all levels will provide the platform for her to progress in Ningbo.

The Kazakhstani faces fellow qualifier Yuliia Starodubtseva for the first time with the Ukrainian world number 131 a clear underdog given she sits 68 places below her opponent in the rankings.

Starodubtseva’s two wins in qualifying ended a barren spell of seven straight defeats, but if the punchy Putintseva finds her rhythm, she should be too solid and consistent.
