Jeanjean is world number 115 after a strong 47-31 record last year, of which 22-14 came on hard courts. On the other side, Kuramochi is world number 357 as she was 41-28 last year, with all but one match being on hard courts but at lower-level ITF tournaments in Asia and Australia. Jeanjean had a great swing here in India last year after the AO, making two finals in Bangalore and Pune before getting injured in Mumbai. This time around she looked really good in her first match, dropping only two games. On the other side, Kuramochi had an easier draw, facing a lucky loser from qualifying, so Jeanjean as much better player should dominate here and win this one.

Jeanjean is ranked 115th with a 48-35 record since the start of last year, of which 23-18 is on hard courts. On the other side, Kuramochi is ranked 357th with a 44-31 record since the start of 2025, but at a much lower level, as she has played almost entirely on the ITF circuit in Asia and Australia. Jeanjean's wins have been convincing as 16 of her last 21 hard-court wins came in straight sets. Kuramochi's losses have not been close either as 12 of her last 13 hard-court losses came in straight sets, and only 1 of those 12 opponents who beat her in straight sets was ranked higher than her opponent today. Jeanjean is clearly much better, and after she breezed past her first round, dropping only two games, it is reasonable to expect Jeanjean to control this match from start to finish and win again in straight sets.

Jeanjean stayed below this margin in 8 of her last 9 matches, while Kuramochi lost in straight sets in 12 of her last 13 losses on hard courts. Jeanjean is 242 places better ranked, so she should be winning this one, and 16 of her last 21 wins on hard courts came in straight sets. Jeanjean's first win here came by 6-2, 6-0 while last year she had two deep runs to the finals of two tournaments in India after the AO, where she won 6 of 8 matches in straight sets including winning the first two rounds in each of those tournaments in straight sets, so got to expect something similar here and a comfortable win for Jeanjean, which should help the total stay below this margin.

Sawangkaew is world number 236 after a great start to the season with a 7-2 record and a title on the ITF circuit. On the other side, Matsuda is world number 472 and is also 7-2 to start the year, but 5 of her 7 wins came in qualifying for tournaments. Sawangkaew made the final here last year and she opened with a strong win over the 343rd-ranked player, dropping just 3 games. On the other side, Matsuda was fortunate to face a lucky loser ranked 622nd in her opening match. Sawangkaew leads their H2H matches 2-0, with both wins coming on hard courts in Asia, so got to expect the Thai player to dominate here and win again.

Sawangkaew is the 236th-ranked player in the world, while Matsuda is the 472nd-ranked player, so Sawangkaew should win this one. Sawangkaew is 7-2 on the year, with all 7 of those wins coming in straight sets, and 14 of her last 19 wins last year also came in straight sets. On the other side, Matsuda failed to win a set in both of her losses this year, which came to players ranked 278 and 311, while 14 of her last 16 losses last year also came in straight sets, and all on hard courts. Sawangkaew leads their H2H matches 2-0, with both wins on hard courts, so once again, she should have the edge here and win this one swiftly in straight sets.

Sawangkaew is ranked 236th, being 7-2 on the year, highlighted by a title in Nonthaburi on the ITF circuit. On the other side, Matsuda is ranked 472nd and she is also 7-2 on the year, but 5 of those 7 wins came in qualifying for tournaments. Her two wins in main draws came against players ranked 622 and 629 who got into main draws as wildcard and a lucky loser. Sawangkaew didn't drop a single set in her 7 wins this year, with the last 3 of those wins coming by 7, 8, and 9 games difference. She also made the final here a year ago, winning 4 matches, of which 3 wins came by at least 8 games difference. On the other side, Matsuda's two losses this year came against players ranked outside the top 300 by 9 and 7 games difference, while she also lost in straight sets in 15 of her 17 prior losses on hard courts. Sawangkaew leads their H2H matches 2-0, with both wins on hard courts, so got to expect her to dominate this one as well and win convincingly in the end.

Rams have an excellent team all around, which is playing at a really high level this season. Their QB, Stafford, led them to the title in 2022, and he is playing some of the best football of his career this year under McVay's helm. They have a superb young defense this year, filled with talent all over it, and they are one of the least penalized teams in the league. Being that young on defense allowed them to add Adams to their receiving core alongside one of the best receivers in the league, Nacua. Rams also have a really good running game with Kyren Williams and a whole stable of solid tight ends. So, with an experienced, Super Bowl-winning QB like Stafford, who usually plays his best in the biggest games, you simply have to like the Rams to go all the way and win another ring in Santa Clara this season.
