Sofia Kenin vs Himeno Sakatsume prediction

Sofia Kenin will aim to continue a return to form in Hong Kong.

The former Australian Open champion put an indifferent run behind her with a semi-final charge in Tokyo and should have too much for qualifier Himeno Sakatsume.

The American sits 176 places ahead the Japanese who breezed through qualifying but is featuring at the highest level for the first time in two years.

Kenin will be a tall order for the 24-year-old who will hope to stay competitive in what could be a very one-sided affair.
