The WTA 1000 tournament in Beijing opens its doors this week for its 2025 edition! And this Thursday, the Chinese public will have the pleasure of watching a duel between 26-year-old Chinese local Yue Yuan and 30-year-old Kazakh Yulia Putintseva as they battle it out to qualify for the round of 32.
Yue Yuan is in this tournament thanks to her Wild Card. And it's fair to say that she is struggling in front of her home crowd, having lost four consecutive matches in recent weeks, including first-round defeats in Cleveland and at the US Open. However, the Chinese player was able to take advantage of her Lucky Loser spot in Cincinnati this summer to eliminate Cristina Bucsa and top 20 player Diana Shnaider to reach the round of 32. This was a great story in the previous tournament at this level, which should give her hope for a good result in this match.

Our Yue Yuan vs Yulia Putintseva Prediction
This first round of the Beijing tournament will be the third meeting between Yue Yuan and Yulia Putintseva. Although the Kazakh player is ranked many places above her opponent, her current form is unlikely to work in her favor. In fact, it is the Chinese player who has the advantage on hard courts and who should benefit from the support of her home crowd to continue her unbeaten run against her on hard courts.
