At the start of the season, Putintseva has demonstrated an impressive game. Let us recall that in Adelaide, Yulia made it to the semifinals, and in Melbourne, she has two victories under her belt.

But in the next match, she dealt with Zhang Shuai without any problems (6-2, 6-1).

Putintseva is an excellent receiver, plus she stands out for her endurance, always ready to endure the longest matches, to work hard on the back line. At the same time, her emotions often run high, which prevents her from concentrating on the game.
