Katie Volynets vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro prediction

Katie Volynets will be targeting a 10th tour-level win of the year as well as the scalp of Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in Osaka.

The American surged through qualifying without dropping a set and arrives here full of confidence on the back of a run to the final in a Challenger in Suzhou.

That run puts her back inside the top 100 at 95 and she will hope to notch one of the early shocks of the tournament against the eighth seed.

Bouzas Maneiro has recovered from a four-match losing streak at the back end of the North American swing with three victories from her last five and although she has looked a tad more vulnerable of late, she is back up at her career-high of 40 and showing signs of form that make her a decent favourite in this one.
