There's WTA action in the Japanese city of Osaka this week, where Talia Gibson and Sinja Kraus will face off on Wednesday. This match will take place during the early hours for those viewing from the US. As the higher-ranked player, Gibson is the favorite in the early betting, but she's not exactly in great form, winning only one of her last four, so let's not be too surprised if she makes hard work of this.
Sinja Kraus has been in very decent form of late, so much so that she warrants a little more respect than she's getting from the betting market at the time of writing. Betting on the in-form Austrian to come out on top at anything bigger than -105 would be a value-for-money move. After all, Talia Gibson has recently struggled against worse players than Kraus.

Our Talia Gibson vs Sinja Kraus Prediction
Sinja Kraus has been in hot form of late, so much so that she surely has a better chance of defeating a more out-of-form Talia Gibson than the early market anticipates. The Austrian has only lost one of her last five matches, and she's won three out of three in Osaka. That gives her much stronger foundation from which to build than her Australian opponent, who has only played one match in Osaka, meaning that she's likely not quite as adjusted to the conditions as Kraus.
