Iga Swiatek vs Naomi Osaka H2H

These two split the previous two meetings, as Osaka won 2019 Toronto in straight sets and Swiatek won 2022 Miami in straight sets. This will obviously be the first meeting on clay.

Iga Swiatek vs Naomi Osaka Prediction

We obviously know what Osaka is capable of when she’s right, but the problem is she’s still working her way back into form and hasn’t been able to sustain success. Osaka still doesn’t get her first serve in play at a high percentage, and she’s been an error machine at times. Not ideal when going up against Swiatek, who is juiced to win the tournament. Swiatek is -200 at some books to lift the trophy. If Osaka can’t keep her unforced error total low, Swiatek is going to cruise to an effortless victory.

I’d love to see a competitive match, but give me Swiatek in straight sets.
