WTA Tokyo Tournament: Key Matches and Betting Insights

Tokyo, Japan — The round of 16 at the WTA Tokyo tournament continues today, featuring several exciting matches. Among these are must-watch encounters, including Wakana Sonobe vs. Sofia Kenin and Diana Shnaider vs. Anna Kalinskaya.

First up is the matchup between Sonobe and Kenin. Kenin had a dominant performance in her last match, defeating Moyuka Uchijima convincingly. She only allowed Uchijima to win four games. On the other hand, Sonobe just pulled off a victory against the favored Nikola Bartunkova, winning in straight sets. With Kenin being a solid favorite, betting on her to win with a correct score of 2:0 at 1.84 on 1xBet seems sensible.

Next is Victoria Mboko facing Eva Lys. Both women are ranked in the Top 50 and have each had notable seasons. Mboko boasts six tournament titles in 2025, while Lys has reached only quarterfinals this year. The odds currently favor Lys, who has a slight edge given her more recent success. Betting on Lys to win straight up at 1.82 on Betfair is a wise decision.

The feature match between Diana Shnaider and Anna Kalinskaya will also generate significant interest. Shnaider recently dominated Dayana Yastremska and has shown good form. Kalinskaya, however, has struggled with injuries and consistent performance this year. Despite the odds favoring Shnaider, a cautious approach is advised, suggesting she might win or the total games bet might hit under 22.5 for odds of 1.8 on Bet365.

As the tournament progresses, fans and bettors alike have a lot to look forward to. Shnaider is favored but Kalinskaya should not be underestimated, as both women seek to advance further in this prestigious competition.
