Get all the free WTA Osaka Open betting tips, predictions and picks along with their latest odds for the 2024 edition of the tournament, a women’s hardcourt competition played in the Asian tennis swing.
The Japan Open or WTA Osaka is a WTA 250 competition played on outdoor hardcourt surfaces and it is a part of the Asian swing on the tennis calendar.
First played in Osaka in 2009, it was then transferred to Tokyo in 2015 and then to Hiroshima in 2018 where it was held for two years.
For three years between 2020 and 2022 it was then suspended for a variety of reasons – including the pandemic and financial constraints – before it made its comeback in 2023. This time around it was played in Osaka again.
Samantha Stosur has won this title a whopping three times already, having also finished a runner-up on one occasion. Nao Hibino became the first Japanese player to clinch this trophy when she won it in 2019 before its three-year long hiatus.

What Happened in the 2023 Edition of the WTA Osaka Open?
In what proved to be a stunning performance from Ashlyn Krueger, the American lifted the 2023 edition of the WTA Osaka without dropping a single set in the entire tournament.
Krueger overcame the top seeded Zhu Lin in the final in a match where she was stretched to a tie-breaker for the first time in the competition. She had earlier overcome Kateryna Baindl, Jessika Ponchet, Anna Kalinskaya and Japanese wildcard Mai Hontama in successive rounds to make the final.
Interestingly, in the following three Grand Slam appearances in 2024, at the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon, Krueger would be bundled out in the first round despite this change in fortunes in Osaka.
Third seeded Wang Xinyu made the semifinals while the sixth seeded Yulia Putintseva was a losing quarterfinalist in the tournament.
