Naomi Osaka and Karolina Pliskova are going to clash in the final in Tokyo.
Osaka
Naomi is the WTA player of the moment. The Japanese has won the last 10th matches after dropping just 1 set, and she is ready to win her back to back title in Tokyo after the US Open. Naomi got to the final after losing only 15 games in the entire tournament. The last “victim” was Camila Giorgi in the semifinal after the Italian was defeated 6-2 6-3.

Pliskova
Ranked world no.8, the Czech reached the final in Tokyo in a very different way after Karolina won all her matches in 3 sets. The former world no.1 defeated Donna Vekic 6-2 4-6 6-3 in the semifinal.

Naomi Osaka vs. Karolina Pliskova H2H
The head to head between Naomi and Karolina is 1-all. The Japanese is the favorite to win the final also because she will be much fresher than her opponent.
