It’s hardly a huge surprise to see Siniakova starting as the favourite in the Osaka final. She has beaten Krueger in every match they’ve played so far (4-0). That being said, Krueger has a real shot at turning the tables here. She won her first WTA title at this venue, and she has the weapons to make this a completely different match. If she serves well and takes control of the rallies early, she can outhit Siniakova.
