After winning two qualifying matches, Maya Joint takes on a seed in round one of the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo. Her opponent in this outdoor hard court tournament is the sixth seed Sorana Cirstea. Joint won their last match and Cirstea isn't in the best of form, our prediction here is more than 19.5 games.
Round two will see the winner face either Cristina Bucsa or Diane Parry (both unseeded) in round two.
Maya Joint had a few problems in her opening qualifying match and needed three sets to defeat Viktorija Golubic, losing the opening set.
Joint has reached one WTA 250 final on this surface. That was in Seoul in late September. The Australian hasn't built on that though with a loss in qualifying and two first round losses.
More than 19.5 games have been played in six of her last seven matches.
Sorana Cirstea is 1-1 in previous meetings with Joint. The Romanian will be out for some revenge as she lost 6-4 6-4 to Joint in Toronto this August.
Cirstea is the world number 16, 78 places above Joint. Recent tournaments have seen her beaten in three of her last four matches, most recently a second round loss to Sara Bejlek in Ningbo. At least 20 games have been played in two of her last three matches.
