–

Another walkover in doubles in Osaka.

But a couple of in-form players in Anna Kalinskaya and Karolina Muchova are through to the quarterfinals.

Muchova was due to. play the No. 2 seed, Zheng Qinwen. So it was a pretty nice twist of fate for her to instead play Jaqueline Cristian – who didn’t even get out of the FIRST round of qualifying as all the second-round losers had already gotten spots in the draw.

In Osaka, the No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 seeds are gone.
