WTA Osaka Quarterfinal Predictions: The WTA Japan Open in Osaka, Japan, will host the quarterfinals. Since the top seeds have already been eliminated, the remaining players have a fantastic chance to leave their imprint and take home a WTA title. On day five, as usual, we at LWOT will provide our predictions for each of the four quarterfinals. Who will make it to the semifinals, though?
WTA Osaka Quarterfinal Predictions:
In contrast to Sara Saito, Kimberly Birrell
Over the last few months, Kimberly Birrell has been playing well. Although there aren’t any particularly noteworthy outcomes, this week has demonstrated that confidence is increased by completing numerous qualifying draws. She has a solid chance of making it to the semifinals in her debut tour. Sara Saito advanced to her maiden tour-level quarterfinals with yet another outstanding performance. Despite being a clean hitter, the 18-year-old wild card lacks experience at this level, which could hinder her chances against Birrell.
Suzan Lamens vs. Ana Bogdan
This week, Ana Bogdan has looked fantastic and hasn’t lost a set. Bogdan will enter the quarterfinals as the clear favorite after these much-needed victories and points. Suzan Lamens is also undefeated and has enjoyed a similar run. After qualifying, both of these players appeared capable of winning the entire competition. But only one can advance, and I’m getting closer to the Romanian player.
Aoi Ito versus Eva Lys
Eva Lys, the unfortunate loser, hasn’t turned around since she lost in the second qualifying round. She faced McCartney Kessler in a difficult encounter, but she should feel very confident after winning those matches. Lys will play Aoi Ito, a local player who defeated Elisabetta Cocciaretto in the second round, in an attempt to advance to back-to-back semifinals. Ito is an intriguing player to watch because of her surprising shots and varied style of play. Although the Japanese have made good progress in this event, Lys is now the more reliable player and ought to win by a little margin.
Clara Tauson vs. Diane Parry
Diane Parry defeated Greet Minnen in straight sets by playing a far more consistent tennis. Parry’s season has been the best of her career, and a title would help make it even more memorable. With just one seed left, the Frenchwoman will play Clara Tauson in the quarterfinals. At the Japan Women’s Open, Tauson has had an outstanding debut and has not yet dropped more than three games in a set. It will be difficult for Parry to break her because she has been excellent behind her first serve. I will go toward Tauson, but this is a really close match that might go either way.
