At the Mutua Madrid Open on Wednesday, the eye is drawn to the match between Yulia Putintseva and Tereza Valentova. Why? Well, this simply looks like a better opportunity for Putintseva to win than the early odds would have us believe. When we consider that Valentova has not played on clay in nearly a year, it's not too difficult to conclude that Putintseva should be the favorite. While she's not, she goes down as a value bet.
Moreover, Tereza Valentova comes into this match in poor form having won only one of her last five matches, and it's not as if she's only faced top players, with two of those loses coming against lower-ranked players. In contrast, Puntintseva brings decent clay-court form to the table, winning three of her recent four assignments on this surface.
