On Friday evening, one of the matches taking place at the WTA event in Austin involves a former winner of this event. Yue Yuan won this event back in 2024, defeating fellow Chinese player Wang Xiyu in the final. However, she hasn't exacty kicked on since that victory, coming into this match ranaked at 128 in the world. She also wobbled a little against Sramkova during the first round, before steadying herself tok beat Galfi in straight sets. With that under her belt, can she kick on and move closer to regaining the ATX Open title?
Hoping to deny the Yuan any chance of a second success at this tournament is Ashlyn Krueger, who comes into this match having looked in hot form during both the first and second rounds. The American is yet to drop a set in Austin, while she was a comfortable winner when these two last met, so this could easiy be tougher for the 2024 champion than the early odds suggest.

Our Yue Yuan vs Ashlyn Krueger Prediction
Yue Yuan can be a tricky opponent, while she must be respected as a former champion of this event. However, Ashlyn Krueger looks in hot form right now, while I'm finding it tough to ignore how easily she won when the pair previously met on a hard court. On that basis, the American could be an even stronger favorite than she already is.
Frankly, based on what we've seen from the pair at this tournament already, combined with what happened when they last met, I'd have Ashlyn Krueger priced closer to -160 here, so if we can get -137, which we can at the time of writing, we're slicing off some all-important value.
