For some WTA players, it's back down to business on clay this week. Two such players are Clara Burel and Yulia Putintseva, who are meeting for the second time as professionals. They will face off at the event in Iasi, Romania. Burel has has been struggling with her ranking for a while and she's now ranked a long way below Monday's opponent, who continues to be a top-100 player, a player who arrives in decent clay-court form having won three matches on a clay surface in Sweden last week.
On recent efforts, it's easy to agree that Putintseva should be a strong favorite. In fact, if we throw into the mix that she easily beat Burel in straight sets when the pair last met, it's not difficult to conclude that the Kazakh player deserves to be an even stronger favorite. Everything points towards her enjoying herself here, so much so that she's worth betting on to emerge victorious without dropping a set.
