Parry Yet to Find Her Feet on Hard Court
World no. 88 Diane Parry brings a 26-26 season record to the Japan Open.
The 21-year-old Frenchwoman has been in excellent form on clay courts and an 18-12 record is a proof of that. She has however found the going tough on hard courts, where she is 6-11 with most of her matches being played in lower level tournaments.
Parry is currently on a three-match losing streak. She lost in the second qualifying round in Cincinnati and then made first round exits from WTA 125 in Chicago and the US Open.
Parry’s best performances this year include a title success in WTA 125 in Paris, and semifinal appearances in Makaraska and Lausanne.
Can she make a winning start in the first round and get some form going on hard courts?

Mandlik Makes the Main Draw
World no. 154 Elizabeth Mandlik qualified for the main draw with a straight sets drubbing of Japan’s Haruka Kaji in the second qualifying round on Sunday.
Mandlik saved both the break points that she faced and converted 4 of 6 to beat the Japanese player 6-1, 6-2.
The American had come from behind to win her first qualifying round match against Yang Ya-yi, winning the contest 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Mandlik is 26-24 across levels this year. She reached her maiden WTA 125 final at the Catalonia Open in Spain, finishing runner-up to Sorana Cirstea. Mandlik’s best at the tour level, saw her reach the quarterfinals in Nottingham.
It will be interesting to see if she can make it past the opening round.
Parry v Mandlik Prediction and Tip
Overall Mandlik is a better hard court player, at least that’s what the numbers suggest. Parry meanwhile is the higher ranked player and has tasted more success at the highest level this year. So this could be an evenly matched contest, with Mandlik edging past the Frenchwoman.

- Moderate Risk Tip: Mandlik to win: 5/6 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 20.5 games in the match: 4/6 (with bet365)
