Wow! This is going to be a good one for comments, Boy Howdy. And what were the chances of 2 Japanese girls playing each other out of hundreds of players? My, my, my, am I gonna have a good time with this one. You got one REAL Japanese Cutie-Pie player taking on some Japanese wanna-be player who is about washed up anyway. Much like Sloane Stephens who did well for a year and then just fizzled out. I know Misaki is only 5'3 or something like that, but my money is on her. Yes, she has a name that sounds like a sauce I put on my noodles, but that's beside the point. At least Misaki knows her true country and plays under a real Japanese flag. I look forward to this match and I hope people just keep their negative comments to themselves....because it's bad for my digestion when I hear people looking for trouble.
Obviously someone neglected to inform Naomi that this is a TENNIS match, hellooooooo! She came dressed for a track meet or looks like one of those policia we see directing traffic in Paris France.
Naomi just may well pull this one out, even though she looks a little winded and tired already. I did look up her uniform on wiki and all it is, it's just a collegiate pole-vault suit with a pair of black shorts pulled up over it. Nothing wrong with that at all.
At least she's had 3 full days rest this time for her injury. ????
Misaki is never easy.
