At the WTA 500 competition, Naomi Osaka, who won the trophy in front of her home fans in 2019, will once again be the main attraction. Paula Badosa and Caroline Garcia are two other top-10 players competing in the tournament.
The tournament’s top seed, World No. 4, Badosa, will be in the front of the pack this year. Along with the other top four seeds, the Spaniard received a bye in the first round. With seventh seed Alison Riske Amritraj waiting in the quarterfinals, Badosa may meet local favourite Misaki Doi or Chinese prospect Zheng Qinwen in the Round of 16.
The bottom half of the draw is led by Garbine Muguruza and Caroline Garcia, although opponents like Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina and former Pan Pacific Open champion Karolina Pliskova will put up a fight. Fourth seed Veronika Kudermetova and Beatriz Haddad Maia are some of the other interesting names in the draw.
