Our Naomi Osaka vs Mia Pohankova Prediction
Naomi Osaka doesn't have any seeded players standing between her and the semi-finals in Tokyo. The former world number one is making her way back up the rankings, but her only outdoor hard court semi-final this year has been in Washington.
Mia Pohankova has enjoyed success on lesser tours and did reach the third round in Wuhan recently. This is her toughest task of the year by far and lacks the experience of her opponent. Our Naomi Osaka v Mia Pohankova prediction is Naomi Osaka wins in straight sets.
