Tereza Valentova vs Mia Pohankova prediction

Tereza Valentova meets Mia Pohankova in a teenage tussle in Tokyo. 

The Czech is a year older at 19 and has far greater pedigree at this stage.

Indeed, her Slovakian opponent will be playing for just the ninth time at this level, but a word of warning for Tereza would be that the 18-year-old did pick up two wins in Wuhan last time out. 

Valentova has dropped down the rankings of late and will want to end this season on a high, so we expect her to be fired up, but a battle with a rising opponent of a similar age may well be closer than many may be expecting.
