Facing each other for the second time on the WTA Tour, Xinyu Gao and Lilli Tagger will do battle at the Austrian Open on Tuesday, when the Chinese player will be looking to atone for the defeat that she suffered at the hands of her Austrian opponent earlier this year. Tagger, playing on home soil, will be looking to go deep this week, but she'll have to improve after losing in straight sets last time out.
The early betting market ahead of this match would have us believe that Lilli Tagger is unlikely to lose, but it may not be quite as straightforward for the Austrian as the early odds suggest, even if she's playing in her homeland. After all, these two players have met before, and when they did, Xinyu Gao certainly made Tagger work, eventually losing in three sets. On that evidence, and looking at the recent hard-court efforts of both, it's well worth betting on 'Over 2.5 Sets' at generous-looking odds of +155.

Our Xinyu Gao vs Lilli Tagger Prediction
Xinyu Gao is not overly fancied by the early market, but the Chinese player does have a more than reasonable record of, at the very least, pushing higher-ranked players into a third set. Moreover, she proved tough to beat when these two faced off at the Australian Open back in January, with the pair sharing three sets. Tagger comes here off the back of a defeat, and simply doesn't look in strong enough form to brush her opponent aside.
Our Xinyu Gao vs Lilli Tagger Pick: Over 2.5 Sets.
