Badosa vs. Putintseva: WTA Cincinnati Match Prediction
Paula Badosa is having a great hard court season, actively playing for the third week in a row, and won the title in Washington. The Spanish tennis player certainly doesn't plan to stop there, as she is trying to get back to her former positions. In the third round in Cincinnati on August 16, Paula will play against Yulia Putintseva, whom she has won three out of four head-to-head matches against. What bets should you choose today for the next confrontation between the tennis players?
Command Analysis
Paula Badosa
SpainCurrent form
Instead of the Olympics, Badosa concentrated on the American hard court series. Clearly, the bet on possible success paid off. Paula won the title in Washington and advanced to the second round in Toronto. In Cincinnati, the Spaniard played two excellent matches against Stearns (6-2, 7-5) and Kalinskaya (6-3, 6-2). In each of these matches, she played extremely reliably, trying to minimize the number of unforced errors, which she succeeded in doing.
Professional qualities
Badosa is a versatile tennis player who feels comfortable on all types of surfaces. This is due to her rich technical arsenal and high decision-making speed. We should also note her ability to increase the tempo when exchanging blows to speeds that are unbearable for many opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
The Spanish tennis player spent a long time recovering from her injury, and now she is in perfect health. She has already managed to return to the top 30, and with the kind of game that Paula is currently demonstrating, a return to the top 20 is not far off.
Interesting facts for betting
Since Wimbledon, Badosa has won seven matches on hard courts, six of which were 2-0 set wins.
Yulia Putintseva
KazakhstanCurrent form
Putintseva took a long break after Wimbledon and had not played anywhere on tour before Cincinnati. Yulia does not demonstrate a more or less stable game on local courts. Both victories over Dart (4-6, 6-0, 6-1) Gauff (6-4, 2-6, 6-4). On the other hand, when she gets into the swing of things, it is impossible to stop her, which Gauff herself experienced.
Professional qualities
Putintseva is famous for her stubbornness and character, more than once she has pulled out matches where, it would seem, everything is against her. On the other hand, from time to time one can observe complete failures, when everything falls out of her hands. Yulia does not have a more or less strong serve in her arsenal, which her opponents regularly take advantage of when they literally immediately go on the attack from the reception.
Current indicators in the tour
Putintseva is having a successful season and is close to returning to the top 30, as she is currently ranked 34th in the world. On hard courts, she has a solid 19 wins in 25 matches played since the beginning of the year. However, her only title of the season was on grass in Birmingham.
Interesting facts for betting
In four of her previous five matches, Putintseva has exchanged winning sets with her opponents

1.75Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, Badosa is rightfully the favorite. The Spanish tennis player played her matches in Cincinnati more confidently and has a noticeable advantage in personal meetings. Undoubtedly, Paula has a more powerful serve, which could be a key moment today, since on the back line she is now in no way inferior to Putintseva.
Our prediction is Badosa's victory with odds of 1.53
Bet on total
The last time the tennis players played each other was at Roland Garros this year. Then Badosa won in a tough fight in three sets. It is unlikely that Putintseva will simply give Paula a ticket to the quarterfinals today.
The second bet is total over 21 games for 1.79
Bet on the second set
The opponents have played each other four times and in none of the matches did they play more than nine games in the second set. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
