THE PREDICTION
29-year-old Lin Zhu will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 31st after reaching her second tour final this season with an impressive straight-sets result over in-form Xinyu Wang. Zhu also beat Wang en-route to her maiden tour final at the Hua Hin Championships and she won that in style against Lesia Tsurenko back in February to look the favourite here. However, 19-year-old Ashlyn Krueger has impressed this week en-route to her maiden tour final and she will break the top 100 on tour for the first time for her efforts. The American is yet to drop a set this week in a reasonably kind draw, although she produced her best against her toughest opponent with a blistering win over Anna Kalinskaya to look a real threat here. Top seed Lin Zhu should enjoy the lion’s share of the support in Osaka and her victory in similar conditions in Thailand earlier this year say taking her to edge this first encounter with Krueger looks a reasonable call.
