Diane Parry vs Cristina Bucsa prediction

Diane Parry will hope to end a five-match losing streak in Tokyo.

The French star meets Cristina Bucsa for the second time and did win their first meeting in routine fashion on grass two years ago.

Bucsa is also looking to bounce back to winning ways with six straight defeats sapping her confidence, so this is a showdown between two players desperate for a change in fortunes.

They have statistically shown similar form on this surface and there’s little between them in the rankings, so this may be one to take in the first set before deciding where to lay your bet.
