Pliskova Routs Shinikova
While Pliskova has had a rough year by her own former lofty standards, she has shown signs of returning to her best more recently and that was in evidence in her opener here in Tokyo.
The former world number out outclassed Isabella Shinikova 6-2, 6-1 in a match that failed to register even an hour on the clock with Pliskova breaking her opponent four times in the encounter. In return, Pliskova faced just one break-point and saved it easily.
Coming into this tournament, the Czech players had earlier reached the US Open quarterfinal stage and was a semifinalist at the Canadian Open.
These two results had helped her prop the 2022 win-loss record up to 19-15 for Pliskova following a dry spell. Pliskova will like to make this form count even as the quality of opposition improves in this second round.

Martic Blasts Saigo
In much like how Pliskova tamed Shinikova, Martic also did not have too much trouble getting past Rina Saigo, the Japanese qualifier.
Ranked outside the top 600 on the women’s rankings, Saigo wasn’t expected to do too much damages and Martic took full advantage of that inexperience.
The Croat ran away with a 6-1, 6-1 victory in 70 minutes to enter round two and in a manner similar to Pliskova again, She broke her opponent five times, faced just one break-point and staved it off easily.
Martic had entered this tournament on the back of a third round appearance at the US Open and had also run all the way up to the quarterfinal at the Indian Wells Open earlier this season.
Can she chalk up a threat for Pliskova?
Pliskova v Martic Prediction and Tip
Pliskova’s form makes her an obvious favourite here, with bookmakers offering 1/2 for her win and despite Martic having shown what she is capable of on this surface, one can expect the Czech to come through. Probably even in straight sets.
Tip: Pliskova to win in straight sets: 11/10 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
