Wild card Sofia Kenin bids to reach the last four in Tokyo. The American faces third seed Daria Kasatkina in the quarter-finals of the Toray Pan Pacific Open. The winner takes on either Katie Boulter or Bianca Andreescu next. Here's our match prediction.
Daria Kasatkina won last week's Ningbo Open and is ninth in the latest rankings. The Russian beat unseeded McCartney Kessler in her first match in this tournament. That was tough though with the first set being lost but then the next two were won for the loss of only four games.
Sofia Kenin is the world number 155 and up to 121st in the live rankings. The American had lost her last three matches in the run-up to this tournament. Better form has been shown in Tokyo though.
Wins have come against tenth seed Wang Xiyu in round one with only five games lost. That was followed by a three-set win over lucky loser Clara Tauson. Kenin lost the first set and two tie-breaks were played. Kenin is 2-2 in previous matches against Kasatkina with the Russian winning the last two. Of the four matches, three went to a final set. We go for over 19.5 games to be played in this match.
