Heading into this matchup, Ikumi Yamazaki showcases a subtle edge in several areas. Her superior second serve performance could grant her key points when it matters most.

While Momoko Kobori’s first serve return stats present a strong front, Yamazaki's overall recent performance, especially against higher-ranked opponents, highlights her readiness for this encounter.

Although Kobori has shown her ability to succeed on I.hard, the surface does not heavily favor one player over the other in this instance. Additionally, Kobori’s recent victory in their last clash offers hope for her supporters.

Considering all factors, Yamazaki's recent form and strengths under pressure tip the scale slightly in her favor. Yamazaki is anticipated to emerge victoriously in the upcoming match.
