Haruka Kaji Player Overview
Four wins from her last ten. Kaji's form has been inconsistent - three straight losses to close that run, two of them against Julieta Pareja. Over that stretch, she's won 49% of games and 45% of sets, which doesn't suggest much control over her matches. Average games per match sits at 18.6 - toward the lower end for three-set matches, though even at that level the total line is often under pressure.

Taylah Preston Player Overview
Preston has the same number of wins - four from her last ten - but her average total games are significantly higher at 26.7 per match.

She makes a lot of double faults - 41 over her last ten matches - but still manages to make things difficult for most opponents.
