Ashlyn Krueger vs Katerina Siniakova prediction

Katerina Siniakova reached her first tour-level final since 2023 with victory over Katie Boulter.

The Czech ended the Brit’s fine run in Osaka with a solid 6-1 6-4 success.

The world number 86 will now battle Ashlyn Krueger for the title after the American upset top seed Ann Li 6-4 6-7 6-3.

This will be their fifth meeting with Siniakova leading 4-0 in the head-to-head and winning the last two in straight sets. Only one encounter has been on hardcourt with Katerina prevailing 6-3 2-6 6-2 in Adelaide last year.

Krueger has impressed this week and is the rankings favourite at 55 in the world. That said, Siniakova has defied that sort of thinking all week and she’s playing a calibre of tennis that gives her a great shout at ending a fine tournament as the champion.
