Jacqueline Christian - Yulia Putintseva: betting tip for the WTA Rome match

Current form

Christian did not achieve much success immediately after switching to the ground: Rouen completed one lap, and lost to Kartal at the start in Madrid (2-6, 5-7). Nevertheless, in Rome, Jacqueline defeated Parks very confidently in the first round (6-2, 6-0) and came closer to defending her last year's result on local courts when she made it to the third round.

Professional qualities

The Romanian plays power tennis, relying on a powerful first serve and tight punches with both hands. This kind of tennis is not very effective on clay, but it allows Christian to achieve good results from time to time.

Current indicators in the tour

Christian has never risen above 57th place in the world ranking, and we have a strong average man in the top hundred. At the moment, the Romanian tennis player is in 74th position, has won 14 matches this year and suffered nine defeats.

Interesting facts for betting

• The minimum number of sets was played in five consecutive matches with the Romanian player.
• In Christian's previous three fights, he had not played more than nine games in the first set.

Current form

Back in January, at the Australian Open, Putintseva managed to make it to the third round. After that, she never went more than one round anywhere. The transition to the ground did not have a positive effect. In Charleston, Julia completed only one lap, and in Madrid, she lost at the start to far from the strongest Masarova (3-6, 3-6). On the courts in Rome, the representative of Kazakhstan needs to defend her points for reaching the third round last year.

Professional qualities

Yulia relies on stable actions on the back line in her game, she likes to increase the tempo when exchanging punches, and has a good technique. At the same time, emotions often prevent her from showing her full potential.

Current indicators in the tour

Putintseva's interim results for the season are weak: ten wins and the same number of defeats. She still holds a high 29th position in the rating, but obviously if she doesn't improve, she will fall seriously.

Interesting facts for betting

• In five consecutive matches, Putintseva played in two sets.
• In Yulia's three previous matches, she did not play more than nine games in the second game.
