Alina Charaeva vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction

Alina Charaeva qualified to the Pan Pacific Open after her opponent Rebecca Sramkova was forced to retire during their match. The Russian was leading 6-1 3-0 at the time. This will be her first WTA Tour main draw match of the season. She has reached two ITF finals during this campaign and has won a solitary title, while she is now ranked 150 in the world. 

Jaqueline Cristian was close to a second WTA final of the season last week, but she ended up losing her semi-final match against Tereza Valentova in three sets. It was still a strong showing from her in Osaka, and she should be able to take some of the positives from that tournament with her for this event.

Cristian is ranked over 100 places above Charaeva in the world rankings and will be the heavy favourite to come out on top in this one.
