THE PREDICTION

World number four Jessica Pegula received a bye to the round of 16 as the second seed here in Tokyo, where she will play her first match in three weeks since her surprise exit to Madison Keys in the round of 16 at the US Open. The 29-year-old was usurped as US number one by doubles partner Coco Gauff as the teenager fulfilled her destiny with a maiden Grand Slam title in New York and it will be interesting to see how Pegula reacts in the coming months. World number 79 Cristina Bucsa conceded just three games to qualifier Rina Saigo on Monday in a clear mis-match but the Spaniard should suffer a relatively similar fate in this fierce step-up in quality. Pegula coasted past Bucsa in their only previous encounter at Wimbledon back in July and she should be even more effective on a hardcourt. Take the American to win in straight sets.
