Open field does give Tayuya an advantage since Neji has a Byakugan able to see through trees and see Tayuya's location whereas Neji can easily escape from Tayuya's line of sight in a forest much like Shikamaru did (

). However, in this particular location, Neji can't escape Tayuya's line of sight so he isn't constantly going to evade those chakra sucking ghosts. Not to mention in a lot of the scans you showed me, Neji actually touched the spiders and if he does the same with Tayuya's chakra sucking ghosts, well he loses chakra and gets weakened especially as the fight prolongs. In another scan you linked me, Neji actually has three projectiles stuck in his back so I don't get what you are trying to say. If he gets hit like that, he is going to run out of chakra and die (

Well Shikamaru only barely evaded the chakra ghosts once and then went into hiding, confusing Tayuya with a sporadic way of attacking via ninja tools (

Ao managed to see through when someone else was placed in genjutsu, the Byakugan isn't making Neji immune to sound based genjutsu. Since Neji has great chakra control, I don't see him getting one shotted by sound genjutsu and agree he can break it fairly easily but it does give Tayuya an opening she can use to hinder Neji's movements and ultimately finish him off.
How does Neji get close when Tayuya's dokis serve as both an

Overall in this location, I see Tayuya winning mid-high difficulty. In a forest, I see Neji winning mid-high difficulty.
