THE PREDICTION
World number 35 Lin Zhu needed three sets to beat home hopeful Moyuka Uchijima on Wednesday but the top seed still looks set to reach the final in Osaka. The 29-year-old won her maiden WTA title at the Hua Hin Championships in similar conditions back in February, not long after a career-best run to the round of 16 at the Australian Open, and she looks the title favourite here ahead of outliers Anna Kalinskaya, Xinyu Wang and Yulia Putintseva. World number 167 Elizabeth Mandlik beat Diane Parry in straight sets on Tuesday before overcoming Rebecca Marino in three sets to make a rare quarter-final on tour but this looks a step too far without serious improvement. Back Lin Zhu to win outright, although straight sets should do it.
