Japan go into this United Cup group match needing a win. Naomi Osaka takes on Emma Raducanu after Japan lost their opening group match to Greece. Can they get a win that could yet see them reach the quarter-finals? Read our match prediction below.
Osaka lost in straight sets to Maria Sakkari with Japan losing that match 3-0 with no sets won. That's going to make qualification difficult even if they were to beat Great Britain. This is the second match in this tie following Harris v Mochizuki.
Naomi Osaka is up to 16th in the world rankings but said after her loss to Sakkari that she's had a bad cold recently.
Emma Raducanu is playing her first match since October 14. 2025 didn't end well for her with a run of three successive losses. All were on outdoor hard courts which is the surface this tournament is being played on.
Fitness remains a problem for the British player but she did go up the rankings to 29th and is likely to be seeded for the upcoming Australian Open. Her best performance in 2025 was getting to the semi-finals in Washington and Raducanu beat Osaka in that tournament.
We tip Raducanu to win this match.
