Cristina Bucsa vs Maya Joint prediction

Maya Joint moved Sorana Cirstea’s retirement ever nearer with an impressive win in Tokyo.

The Aussie registered a 6-3 7-6 victory over the Romanian to tee up a second career meeting with Cristina Bucsa.

The Spaniard was too strong as she raced clear of Diane Parry to claim a 7-5 6-1 success.

World number 42, Bucsa won their only previous meeting 6-3 6-1 in Hong Kong last year and while we expect this to be closer, we would still back her to have the edge over the world number 94 here.
