Jaqueline Cristian vs Tereza Valentova prediction

Tereza Valentova is one win away from making the final on debut in Osaka.

The teenager continued her stunning run with a 4-6 6-2 6-3 triumph over sixth seed Olga Danilovic and will start next week at a new career-high inside the top 70 regardless of what happens here.

Standing in the 18-year-old’s way of a showdown for the trophy is world number 47 Jaqueline Cristian.

The Romanian reached the last four via a walkover after top seed Naomi Osaka withdrew with a leg injury sustained in her victory over 2024 champion Suzan Lamens.

Cristian is often a player who goes under the radar, but it remains the case that many would have expected four-time major winner Osaka at this point, so it represents a big opportunity for Valentova.

The youngster has played some spellbinding tennis at this tournament and she’s the tip to continue that and reach Sunday’s final.
