Match summary
Ikumi Yamazaki and Hiromi Abe will meet at Taipei 2 ITF on June 15 on a hard outdoor court. Neither player has faced the other before, and both remain unranked. Yamazaki arrives fresh off five consecutive wins in her last five matches, though her longer record on hard courts sits at 9-11. Abe has played sparingly in the past two weeks but carries a 14-6 hard court record across her sample.
Yamazaki has won 6 of her last 10 matches overall. Abe won 9 of her last 10 and lost just once in her most recent outing. The two players have split results against common opponents; Yamazaki defeated Jenna Defalco while Abe fell to her, though both won against Hikaru Sato and Natsuki Yoshimoto.
Both players operate as aggressive baseline competitors who thrive on hard surfaces. Yamazaki has built her current streak through sustained intensity and wins over quality opponents. Abe's 70% hard court win rate reflects consistency in the format, though her absence from match play for six days could affect rhythm early. The match will test whether Yamazaki's momentum and recent tournament volume can override Abe's superior surface record and larger sample of hard court success.
