This is a round of 16 match from the Shenzhen 2 ITF tournament between Ying-Ying Duan from China and Nudnida Luangnam from Thailand.
They have met only once in a match that took place in 2009 at the Pingguo ITF and was won by Duan 6-3, 6-3.
Even though this may be a risky bet because Duan is the player with the better results so far in her career I think that the form that Nudnida Luangnam has showed this year could prove decisive in this encounter. Luangnam is 22-6 on hard this year and has managed to win 2 ITF titles in 2015 so I think she could be the dark horse of this tournament. She played the qualif. rounds and defeated Hong 7-6(6), 6-3, Chen 6-3, 6-1, Han 6-0, 6-2. In the main draw she defeated Higuchi 6-1, 6-0 in the first round in a match that her level of tennis was way over the rankings she has.
Duan is playing at home and that's also one of the reason why she is such a big favorite in this match. She is a very tall player and she will be very hard get broken but I also need to consider the fact that she is a very at the return end. She will be facing a player that has played very well this year and considering that Duan has only 10 matches under her belt this year it could prove costly for her.
I have a felling a surprise is waiting to happen in this one and at these odds I have to go with the player that I believe has performed better this year and that is Nudnida Luangnam.
