Jie Cui did not play in the ITF for a long time, which hardly had a positive effect on his level of play. He has played few games this season, and we don't see any notable success. Under such circumstances, his prospects in this tournament seem doubtful.
Bouquier has been showing good statistics in the last two years. 18 wins and 9 losses in 2022 are a great result for a young player who is gradually gaining in the rankings. We should note his progress this season: the percentage of first service hits has become noticeably higher.
Jie Cui has not yet returned to his level of two years ago. On the other hand, Bouquier is showing positive dynamics, so his chances of winning are higher.
Our prediction: Bouquier to win. We recommend the “2 Win” bet, odds 1.83
