Samsonova performed well in American hard tournaments and didn't lose a single set in Tokyo, so she deserved a favourite status ahead of today's match. But we shouldn't underestimate Muguruza. Spanish player had a long drought, but she managed to improve her performance in New York and she should be able to put up a good performance in Tokyo, she is familiar with local courts. We offer to place a bet on the underdog here.
