At the WTA event in Hong Kong, there are several matches due to take place on Tuesday, one of which sees Himeno Sakatsume and Tereza Valentova go up against each other for a third time. In 2025, Valentova made light work of winning, doing so 7-6, 6-1, while she also beat this opponent in straight sets back in 2024.
This looks like a more than viable opportunity for Tereza Valentova to not only secure her place in the next round, but to do so without dropping a set, thus building serious momentum. The Czech player won in straight sets when the pair last met, while she's now won two out of two against Himeno Sakatsume without dropping a set. Such a record bodes well, as does the fact that the Japanese player has really struggled to get going in matches of this nature in recent times.

Our Himeno Sakatsume vs Tereza Valentova Prediction
Given Tereza Valentova's record against Himeno Sakatsume, with her winning each of the two previous renewals of this match in straight sets, it is a little surprising that the Czech player isn't a stronger favorite. At the time of writing, she's priced at -149 to win without dropping a set, but really, she should be priced closer to -175 to do that. Take the early value.
The Japanese player has not fared well in recent matches against higher-ranked players.
