Ajla Tomljanovic vs Kyoka Okamura prediction

Ajla Tomljanovic has shown her quality at times despite a mixed season so far, with a fine run to the semi-finals of the ATX Open where she lost a close three-set match against top seed Jessica Pegula.

Her most recent form has been patchy, having advanced through the qualifiers of Indian Wells before retiring against Caty McNally and then a straight-sets loss to Bernarda Pera in the first round of the Miami Open.

Kyoka Okamura had played just one WTA 125k event since failing to get past the qualifying stage of the Australian Open, though she has made it through qualifying here to enter the main draw.

This should be a comfortable victory for the higher ranked Tomljanovic, who made the fourth round of the French Open in 2014 and reached a clay court final at the Rabat Grand Prix in 2018, where she lost to Elise Mertens in straight sets.
