THE PREDICTION
World number 21 Ekaterina Alexandrova played well to oust defending Tokyo champion Liudmila Samsonova in straight sets on Wednesday, particularly after surviving an early scare against Anna Kalinskaya in the first round. The 28-year-old has reached two finals on tour this season, defending her Libema Open title in June and more recently finishing runner-up to Sara Sorribes Tormo in Cleveland, as she continues to enjoy steady form on tour. Former world number 11 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova will be her third fellow Russian faced in a row in Tokyo after the 32-year-old fabulously beat up-and-comer Linda Noskova in three sets on Thursday. Pavlyuchenkova stunned Donna Vekic in the first round to look competitive this week but two wins on the spin suggests she has a real chance at another upset here as she continues to fast-track her return from a year-long absence.
Alexandrova beat Pavlyuchenkova in straight sets in their only previous encounter back in 2018 and at this moment in time the pair are arguably further apart than they were then. Take Alexandrova to earn at least a set to stay suitably cautious where Pavlyuchenkova is concerned this year.
