Kaia Kanepi vs Monica Puig-Tennis Pick
Second round match of the Australian Women’s Open, which faces Kaia Kanepi and Monica Puig.
Seeing the start of the season that both players have had, it seems that Puig has started the year at the level he had in 2017 and, therefore, far from his best level, exhibited throughout 2016. The Puerto Rican tennis player, not she did everything wrong in Auckland despite falling in the first round, but in Brisbane she was decisively defeated in the qualifying round against Kristie Ahn.
Kaia Kanepi, meanwhile, seems to be in a good moment, the former number 15 in the world reappeared in June last year after a year off the tracks, managed to win several ITF tournaments and managed to reach more than interesting quarterfinals in the US Open. Also at this start of the season I would say that she has improved her level even more than she did last year, as she reached the quarterfinals in Brisbane where she was defeated in 3 sets by Karolina Pliskova, one of the best tennis players today and she makes a couple of days, in the first round, passed over Cibulkova endorsing a double 6-2.
Having said all this and unless Puig surprised us with a high level set, which we have not seen in a long time, I think that in the moment that Kanepi arrives, he should not have problems to take the match in two sets.
Prediction Today: Kanepi wins 2-0
Odds: 2
