Naomi Osaka vs Amanda Anisimova: Prediction

Naomi Osaka is the favorite to win the third round clash, and set up a potential last 16 clash with top seed, Ashleigh Barty. Osaka has not played much tennis in the last 6 months or so, but showed signs of coming back into top form in her second round win at Australian Open 2022. The 13th seed has the ability to hit winners from the baseline, something which she has used well so far.

However, Amanda Anisimova surely backs a punch herself, and is no pushover. The American can strike the ball as ferociously as her opponent, Naomi Osaka. We are going for a three set win for Naomi Osaka in the third round battle.

Prediction: Naomi Osaka to win in three sets
