Yulia Putintseva vs Elena Rybakina Prediction & Picks - WTA Mutua Madrid Open
by Bradley Gibbs | in Tennis Picks
One of the quarter-final matches taking place at the WTA event in Spanish capital of Madrid on Wednesday is an all Kazakhstan affair. Yulia Putintseva, who is playing some of her best ever tennis right now, will go up against her compatriot Elena Rybakina, who is currently ranked as the fourth best female player on the planet. Can the lower-ranked player continue to show what she's made of by making life tough for her Grand-Slam-winning opponent? I'd argue that she absolutely can.

Our Yulia Putintseva vs Elena Rybakina Prediction
As the world number four, Elena Rybakina is a natural favourite ahead of this match, but I'm saying that she's a little overbet here. Yulia Putintseva has really proven herself on clay in the last week or so, beating some very good players, and I think she should be getting a bit more respect from the early market. She served very well against both Zheng and Dolehide, while she showed that she can battle hard last time out against world number 11 Kasatkina. That effort can hold her in good stead here. Factor in that she's never failed to win a set against Rybakina and it's not difficult to conclude that the odds on her avoiding a straight set defeat here are a tad generous. Our Prediction: Yulia Putintseva +1.5 Set Handicap.
