19-year-old American tennis player Kruger is a base-liner, capable of playing on both clay and hard courts. She recently won her first WTA title in Osaka, which demonstrates her strong game on this surface. Kruger has also debuted in the top 100, showing that she is at the peak of her career. In her previous matches in Beijing, she performed confidently. If Kruger continues to display her best tennis, she will be stronger than Argentina's Podoroska in their first meeting. Considering all these factors, our prediction is that Kruger will win.
