Yulia Putintseva
Even during the Olympics, world tennis has not stopped, there are many interesting tournaments, one of them will be held in Toronto. Dailysports experts have prepared their prediction for the match Dayana Yastremskaya - Yulia Putintseva, the rivals will play in the first round.
Dayana Yastremska
The Ukrainian athlete had a brilliant start to the season when she managed to reach the semifinals of the Australian Championships, where she lost to the strong Zheng. Since then, Yastremska has never won more than two matches in a row. At the Olympics, the tennis player crashed out in the second round, losing to Colombia's Osori Serrano.
Yastremska has great potential, which she cannot realize due to lack of stability. The athlete is ranked 28th in the world rankings, she is 24 years old. The athlete is still able to shoot a powerful result, as it was in Australia, at the beginning of the year.
Yulia Putintseva
The athlete from Kazakhstan is doing well this season, she even managed to win one tournament in Birmingham. Putintseva was supposed to play at the Olympics, even the opponent was known - Marta Kostyuk, but at the last moment she withdrew, motivated by a knee injury.
The tennis player is ranked 32nd in the world rankings, she is 29 years old. Putintseva is known as a strong middle seed, although she is quite straightforward and not easy to play against, this year she even managed to beat world number one Iga Sventek at Wimbledon. The athlete looks good, she has achieved solid results at prestigious tournaments.
