Himeno Sakatsume vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro prediction

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro will aim to arrest a losing run against outsider Himeno Sakatsume.

The Spaniard has lost her last three but does have slightly greater pedigree on grass than the Japanese world number 127.

There are often shocks early in the grass season as players adapt from the clay but we don’t see it here with Jess much higher in the rankings and with more experience to lean on.
