Analysis for Kudryavtseva-Pavlyuchenkova (WTA Guangzhou)

Head-to-head record 2:0

2 Russians will fight for the second round spot at Guangzhou today. Alla Kudryavtseva is currently ranked as the Wolrd no 82 but her career best ranking was number 59 in June 1007. Her YTD record is relatively poor. She has won 25 matches and recorded 21 losses. Her opponent will be 4 years younger Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. She is just 17 years old and she is considered to be the big talent of Russian tennis. Her YTD match record is unbelievable – 36 wins-13 losses and she already climbed to no.76 in the World. Her career high singles ranking was no.74. Even if she possesses a negative head-to-head record against her country woman, we think she will be favourite in this match and we don´t understand why her odds remain long. She plays well on all surfaces and we think she has everything she needs to become a superstar. Even if she still lacks experience, we think she is the favourite for the upcoming match.
