Late on Tuesday night, at least for those in the US, subject to delays, there's a very interesting match between Antonia Ruzic and Alina Charaeva. This is a battle between the current world number 81 and the current world number 82, so the fact that there's not much between the pair in the early betting market isn't a huge surprise. However, on recent form, it's much easier to make a case for the Armenian than it is the Croatian player.
Looking at the early lines ahead of this match, Alina Charaeva is considered to be the narrow outsider, which given that she's coming off the back of a tournament win, seems a little unjust. If anything, the more in-form player, who will be full of confidence after that win in Italy, deserves to be the slight favorite. Betting on Alina Charaeva to come out on top at odds bigger than -125 makes sense from a value angle.

Our Antonia Ruzic vs Alina Charaeva Prediction
Alina Charaeva may have only won a minor event in Italy last week, but it means that she arrives here feeling confident with her game in a strong place, which perhaps more than we can say for Antonia Ruzic, who arrives for this first-round assignment having lost each of her last two. The Croat has also lost five of her last eight, losing to players ranked below Alina Charaeva.
We've also seen Charaeva defeat better players than Ruzic in recent weeks, so we know what she has up her sleeve.
