Naomi Osaka vs Sonobe Wakana prediction
Naomi Osaka faces a raw, home hope in her opener in Japan.
The top seed takes on 17-year-old world number 267 Sonobe Wakana in an all-Japanese clash that will certainly have huge interest within the country.
Sonobe has been struggling for wins at a lower level in recent months and although Osaka has only won one of three since her semi-final run at the US Open, this will be a case of how many games she drops.
Naomi Osaka vs Sonobe Wakana tip: Under 18.5 games
