Command Analysis
Yulia Starodubtseva
UkraineCurrent form
At the Asian Hard Series, Starodubtseva was remembered for her excellent performance in Beijing. In that tournament, Yulia advanced from the qualification to the quarterfinals. She was stopped only by Cori Gauff, and she managed to win a set against the American (2-6, 6-2, 6-2). At the next three tournaments in Asia, Starodubtseva was unable to show anything and did not even get past the qualification anywhere. In Jiujiang, she will start straight from the main draw.
Professional qualities
Yulia is an attacking tennis player, she feels most comfortable on fast surfaces, plus she has a powerful first serve in her arsenal. She is not very stable on the back line, especially when her opponents pick up the pace in rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
Thanks to her success in Beijing, Starodubtseva entered the top 100 and is currently ranked 89th in the world. On open hard courts, she has 26 wins and 14 losses since the beginning of the year.

Arantxa Rus
NetherlandsCurrent form
Rus was in no hurry to move to Asia, she only had one tournament under her belt. In Guangzhou, the representative of the Netherlands failed to cope with Wang Xiyu in the first round (2-6, 4-6). Before that, Arantxa played in a hard, not very prestigious tournament in Cornella de Llobregat, Spain, where she managed to get to the final, but in the decisive match she was unable to resist Danilovic (2-6, 0-6).
Professional qualities
Throughout her long career, Rus has played mostly on clay, where she has achieved success most often in less prestigious tournaments. Arantxa is more inclined to long exchanges of blows, but at the same time she is not particularly stable, including on serve. You can often see her commit a huge number of double faults.

Starodubtseva has seen a decline after a successful Beijing, but today she may well break her losing streak. Among her opponents, Rus, who is not feeling too confident on hard, played in only one tournament in Asia and did not show anything. We think that, given the equal bookmakers' line in this pair, it is worth betting on Yulia victory.
Our prediction is Starodubtseva victory with odds of 1.91

Bet on the second set
In six of Starodubtseva last eight matches, no more than nine games were played in the second set. We expect in our forecast that today in this game segment, Yulia will confidently "press" her opponent.
