Himeno Sakatsume and Katie Boulter meet in the round of 32 at Osaka on Monday. Katie Boulter is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (3 of the last 10). Himeno Sakatsume comes in at 6 wins from the last ten.

Boulter's 67.5% behind the first serve (against 61.7% for Sakatsume) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Little separates them; Boulter gets the nod on the finest of margins.
