Joanna Garland vs Rebecca Sramkova prediction

Rebecca Sramkova will attempt to address a drop down the rankings in Japan.

The Czech’s early loss at the US Open saw her plummet out of the top 50 after achieving a career high of 33 earlier in the summer.

Sramkova now sits at 65 with just one win in five, but will be confident she can change that narrative at the expense of Joanna Garland. 

The world number 132 from Taiwan was solid in qyualifying and has posted good results at a lower tier, but one tour-level win three matches on the big stage in 2025 tells its own story.

Sramkova may not be at her best of late, but she should still have too much in her armoury in this one.
