Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka started strong at this year’s French Open. Swiatek, the World No.1, swept aside France’s Leolia Jeanjean 6-1, 6-2. Osaka had a more difficult day in the office, battling past Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti 6-1, 4-6, 7-5. The two established players in women’s tennis lock horns in the second round, which is scheduled to be played on Wednesday.

Osaka will be hoping she can bring her best game as that is what it would take to go toe to toe with Swiatek, who has won two consecutive titles in the last month and is the big favorite to win the tournament.

Iga Swiatek vs. Naomi Osaka: Match Preview

Coming in hot with a 13-match winning streak, Swiatek hopes to win her third consecutive, and fourth overall, French Open title. Osaka, who is playing just the second French Open after her hiatus, has a wealth of experience backing her and is slowly creeping back up the rankings and making deeper runs in tournaments.

The two have faced off against each other just twice and are at one win apiece. Swiatek secured a thumping victory in their most recent encounter, winning 6-4, 6-0 at the 2022 Miami Open. Despite the two having reached the very top of the rankings ladder, Osaka’s title tally, especially on clay, pales in comparison to Swiatek’s.

The Japanese star does have much more experience to back her in the match, but that is about the only thing she has going for her at the moment with the kind of form Swiatek is in. This year, the Pole has won 4 titles comprising three WTA 1000 level ones, while Osaka has not made it past the quarterfinal in any of the tournaments she has played.

Iga Swiatek vs. Naomi Osaka: Match Prediction

Given the circumstances and recent results, it should come as no surprise to anyone that Swiatek is the clear favorite to win her third Roland Garros title. She has lost just one of 16 clay court matches that she has played this year.

Osaka’s form has been on the rise, but she is not back to her best. Facing Swiatek in the second round is a daunting task and may prove to be too much for her.

Match prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in two sets.
