Qualifier Suzan Lamens has confirmed her place in the second round in Osaka and will play unseeded Lucia Bronzetti. This Wednesday match will mark their first career meeting. Let’s get a peek at the stats before offering our prediction.

Lamens is having a strong week and should arrive here confident of securing another win. The Dutch player won her last three matches starting from the qualifying rounds, in straight sets.

In the last round, she defeated sixth seed Viktoriya Tomova, who is ranked over 70 places above her in the WTA. As a result, she has moved up six places in the live ranking and into 119th which is a new career high ranking.

Lamens, seeking to win two main draw matches at tour level for the second time, has compiled a 37-23 record. She has won two titles in the ITF and Challenger circuits.

Lucia Bronzetti began her run in Osaka also with a straight-sets win, beating Cristina Bucsa by the loss of seven games. That was win number 26 of a rocky year for the Italian.

Bronzetti has lost 31 times and is also battling against time to overturn her season and finish with a winning record. The one-time tour champion has alternated between the tour and challenger circuits but has participated mostly in the former.

Bronzetti’s highlight of the season has been a semi-final finish in Monastir. She also made the quarter-finals in Monastir and won a challenger title in Contrexeville.

Despite making a winning start to her debut here, she has dropped six places in the live ranking to 84th. The winner here will play Ana Bogdan, Veronika Kudermetova, Moyuka Uchijima, or Marie Bouzkova for a place in the quarter-finals.
