She squares off against Suzan Lamens in a matinee battle on center court. As always, we at LWOT have the preview and prediction for every match on the slate. But who will advance?<\/p>\n<p>WTA Osaka Day 3 Predictions<br \/>\nKatie Boulter vs Sorana Cirstea<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-Head: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Not much separates the careers of Katie Boulter and Sorana Cirstea. Both women are currently ranked in the 50s with career-highs in the 20s, and both have won three titles. However, Cirstea has been in much better form of late. The Romanian is 15-5 since the beginning of August, whereas Boulter is just 4-6 over that same span. Boulter enjoys the faster courts that WTA Osaka provides, but Cirstea can match this. She wins a tight match.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Cirstea in 3<\/p>\n<p>Olga Danilovic vs Ashlyn Krueger<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-Head: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Just one ranking slot separates Olga Danilovic and Ashlyn Krueger. Both women, who love fast surfaces, should feel they have a chance to make a run at WTA Osaka. They are two hard-hitters who thrive by putting pressure on the opposition. However, the 21-year-old American has, in my opinion, a bit of a higher ceiling when firing on all cylinders.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Krueger in 3<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"_rKKlYjXRMVv_PtXvOmPjQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2239479242\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs Jaqueline Cristian<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-Head: Bouzas Maneiro 1-0 Cristian<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Bouzas Maneiro crushed Jaqueline Cristian 6-4 6-0 a few weeks ago in Beijing. There is nothing that makes me believe this match will be any different.

She bested Suzan Lamens 6-2 6-2 last year in \u2018s-Hertogenbosch. Current Naomi is in much better form and is playing in front of her home crowd. She will roll.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Osaka in 2<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey \u2013 Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No. 1 seed Naomi Osaka looks to continue her strong play in her home city of Osaka.
