In Wuhan, during the early hours of Wednesday morning, at least for stateside bettors, it's Kazakhstan vs Russia. Yulia Putintseva takes on Diana Shnaider for a third time, and as she's won each of her previous two matches against her higher-ranked opponent, she may fancy herself to cause something of an upset here. Shnaider looked in decent form against boulter last time out, but does she have a mental block against this particular opponent?
The early market shows us that Diana Shnaider is a big favorite here. According to the rankings, that's not something to disagree with, but if we really think about it, there's a decent chance that the Russian is a little too short. In other words, betting on Yulia Putintseva to get seriously competitive by winning at least one set offers value for money. Those looking for that all-important value should take anything above -133.

Our Yulia Putintseva vs Diana Shnaider Prediction
Yulia Putintseva has never previously struggled to raise her game against Diana Shnaider, winning each of her previous two matches against the current world number 13. The Kazakh competitor also arrives in very good form, winning each of her last four matches, plus she has the benefit of having paid two extra matches in Wuhan, which should leave her better adjusted to the conditions.
If we also consider that Putintseva has lost none of her last nine matches in straight sets, then odds of -105 really do start to look too lenient.
Our Yulia Putintseva vs Diana Shnaider Pick: Yulia Putintseva +1.5 Set Handicap.
