She has been ranked as high as 31 in the world, but that was six years ago, that ranking sandwiching two successive appearances in the fourth round at Wimbledon, her best ever showing in a Grand Slam event.
She has been in two WTA finals, both in Japan, losing to Samantha Stosur in 2014 and beating Miyu Kato three years later.
Earlier this year, she reached the third round of the Australian Open, before losing to Garbine Muguruza, but has struggled for form since then, and had a disappointing clay court season.
She was last in action at the French Open where she beat Heather Watson in the first round before losing to Elise Mertens, the world number 15, but not before taking the first set.
