Pick 2: Yulia Hatuoka ML -163

Hatuoka is one of the decent upcoming players. She has a good serve and strong groundstrokes. She reached to the final in one lower version of this tournament which took place in the same venue. So she knows the surface, place and pace of the court. Bonderenko has past her prime long ago and she is more into doubles nowadays. I think she got enough points for AU Open qualifications as well. I trust Yuliya's shotmaking today vs the veteran who struggled vs lower ranked players in the qualification rounds.
