During the early hours of Sunday morning, at least for stateside viewers, the last few qualifiers ahead of the WTA event in Osaka, Japan will take place. One of those matches is a battle between Sinja Kraus and Sofia Kenin. The pair will meet for the first time as professionals.
Based on an early price of +100, Sinja Kraus is definitely worth betting on to emerge from this match victorious. Not only has the Austrian been in decent form of late, winning five of her last seven hard-court matches, but she's up against a lower-ranked player, a player who has been finding it quite tough to hold her form. Sofia Kenin has only won one of her last five hard-court matches, showcasing a level of form which tells us that she should be considered as a bigger underdog than she is at the time of writing.

Our Sinja Kraus vs Sofia Kenin Prediction
Neither player has done an amazing amount to inspire much confidence ahead of this match, though it is definitely Sinja Kraus who has created the better impression in recent weeks, so much so that the Austrian should really be priced a little less generously. She deserves to be available at odds shorter than +100, which offers value for money.
Kraus has defeated players like Magda Linette and Dayana Yastremska in recent weeks, and such form tells us that she has a stronger chance of winning this match than the early market does.
