Momoko Kobori has qualified for the Hong Kong Tennis Open, where she will play the unseeded Ajla Tomljanovic. The winner of this first-round clash will play Dalma Galfi or Sorana Cirstea for a place in the quarter-finals. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Momoko Kobori is seeking her first win in the main draw of a tour tournament. The Japanese athlete is contesting her first tour-level main draw match since 2018.
To advance to this round, Kobori won both of her qualifiers with one set dropped. She outlasted You Xiaodi via a comeback in her last match. Currently ranked outside the WTA’s top 450, Kobori has compiled an 18-18 record.
Ajla Tomljanovic arrives in Hong Kong in strong form. She has won five times in her last five outings, resulting in a quarter-final finish in Ningbo.
The Australian, who has produced two semi-final finishes this year, has compiled a shaky 26-25 record. Tomljanovic is coming off a second-round exit in Guangzhou.
Despite that early exit, she has moved up in the live ranking and starts a new week ranked 85th in the ATP. Tomljanovic is making her debut in Hong Kong, a city where she had success last season by winning the challenger event.

Our Momoko Kobori vs Ajla Tomljanovic Prediction
Our prediction for Momoko Kobori v Ajla Tomljanovic is - Exact score: 0-2. Kobori won both of her qualifiers in Hong Kong and comes into this match with some momentum. She, however, isn’t our best bet to win, owing to her lack of tour-level experience.
Kobori has never won a main draw tie at this level. As she is coming up against Tomljanovic, who is in strong form, her wait for a tour win is likely to be extended. Tomljanovic is also a hard-court specialist and has won over 200 matches on such surfaces.
