We are guaranteed two unseeded players in the last four of the Toray Pan Pacific Open. One will come from this match as wild card Mia Pohankova takes on qualifier Alycia Parks. Pohankova has caused two surprises so far in Tokyo with wins over Maria Sakkari and Naomi Osaka. Our prediction is Pokanhova wins.
In the semi-finals, the winner will face either third seed Diana Shnaider or eighth-seeded Alexandra Eala.
World number 65 Alycia Parks had to win two qualifying matches to reach the main draw of this outdoor hard court tournament. One saw her need three sets to beat Ena Shibahara. In the main draw, Parks has had victories over Xinyu Wang and lucky loser Kimberly Birrell without dropping a set.
This is her third WTA Tour outdoor hard court quarter-final of the year.
Mia Pohankova was 144th in the latest rankings. Her run to the last eight in Tokyo has taken her up to a career-high 133rd.
Most of the year has seen the 18-year-old play on lower level tours with one ITF title won nine months ago. There have been some good runs on the main tour with the third round reached in Wuhan earlier in October. This week has seen her get more big wins, including defeating seventh seed Naomi Osaka in straight sets.
