Pre-match view
Gibson, the fourth seed, has lost her last three completed matches and has not played singles in nine days, while Dart is 11-4 on hard courts since the start of August and already has two wins in Osaka, though she needed neck treatment in her qualifier.
Dart is the slight lean; the better read is a long match, with over 22.5 games at 2.2 and over 2.5 sets at 2.3 both offering something, while the unders at 1.6 and 1.5 ask for too much.
