Spain will take on Austria at the WTA tournament in Guangzhou, China on Wednesday, when Paula Badosa and Sinja Kraus go up against each other. Taking place during the early morning for us watchers, this is a battle between the current world number 61 and the current world number 77.
Naturally, if Paula Badosa was at her best, then she could reasonably expected to win this match without too much of a fuss, but this is not quite the Badosa of old. The Spaniard has had her issues this year, while Sinja Kraus has been playing well of late, so much so that the Austrian looks a little too nicely priced to, at least, go down without losing in straight sets. After all, she's lost only one of her last five in straight sets.

Our Paula Badosa vs Sinja Kraus Prediction
As mentioned when introducing this pick, Paula Badosa is expected to get the job done. She's the early favorite, and quite a warm one too, but she has not been delivering the sort of tennis that you'd expect from a player priced near -200. In contrast, Sinja Kraus has been getting very competitive, and with Badosa frequently dropping at least one set against players of a similar standing in recent weeks, the Austrian is worth betting on to seriously push her opponent.
Betting on Kraus to win at least one set by taking 'Sinja Kraus +1.5 Set Handicap' is a smart move at anything above -133.
Our Paula Badosa vs Sinja Kraus Pick: Sinja Kraus +1.5 Set Handicap.
