Wakana Sonobe and Sofia Kenin will close out the RO16 of the Toray Panpacific Open. And they may do it with a bang; this game is expected to end swiftly, likely with the Kenin coming out on top. See our best pick and reasons why in this Wakana Sonobe vs Sofia Kenin match prediction.
Although Sofia Kenin, who sits at 25th in the WTA ranking, is likely to beat the 263rd-ranked Wakana Sonobe, we're instead taking the two sets bet in favour of any player. They've never met before, so we're not risking a surprise defeat. We're simply betting on a trend that's been too prominent in their recent games to ignore.
Kenin, for example, has seen five of her last seven singles finish in two sets. Looking further back, this bet has won in eight of her last 13 singles. The latest was Kenin’s clean and dominant 6-1,6-3 win over Moyuka Uchijima in the RO32.
Likewise, Sonobe’s last three singles all finished in two sets. And if we're counting defeats only, three of her last four also finished in two sets. Her latest outing was also in the RO32, which was a 6-4,6-3 win over Nikola Bartunkova.
