Yulia Putintseva vs Talia Gibson prediction
Putintseva will be worried about her last two season on the main tour. Despite having the skills to succeed, the Kazakh has struggled to make a valuable contribution on tour. She will be desperate to finish the season on a high note and do well in the Ningbo Open.
Gibson, on the contrary, has yet to find her feet on the main tour. The 21-year-old has done well on the ITF circuit and will be difficult to beat in Ningbo. She has a steady all-around game with solid groundstrokes especially off the forehand wing.
Considering their recent results and experience on hardcourts, Putintseva should be able to win this encounter. She's most likely to power through the final qualifier and secure a main draw berth in Ningbo.
Pick: Putintseva to win in three sets.
