Expert Betting Tips
Lei Peifan is currently performing well, and the 21-year-old Chinese player will feel confident in winning. However, Anda Zhang is playing on a different level and looking at the players Lei Peifan defeated; they are way below Zhang. The two players will give it all, especially with this open encounter. Yet, Anda Zhang looks like the real deal for me, and I expect him to win.
