THE PREDICTION
This is a huge opportunity for one of world number 176 Mai Hontama and number 191 Arianne Hartono to make a rare semi-final at tour level. The pair faced each other for the first time last month in the second round of US Open qualifying, with Hartono winning in straight sets, but home advantage favours Hontama here in Osaka after she upset Nadia Podoroska for one of the best wins of her career on Wednesday. 27-year-old Hartono conceded just two games to Panna Udvardy to look the favourite on results, though, and her victory over Hontama last month suggests the sensible way to avoid picking a winner here is taking the Dutchwoman to earn at least a set.
