Jaqueline Cristian vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto prediction
Jaqueline Cristian needs a solid run in Japan to avoid slipping out of the top 50.
The Romanian achieved a career high of 41 last month but has now lost four of her last five and is beginning to shift in the opposite direction.
First up, she meets Cocciaretto, who did not drop a set in qualifying and is no stranger to an upset despite struggling for tour-level wins of late.
The Italian is generally stronger on clay and if Cristian can kick-start her form, she should have the match on her racquet.
