Naomi Osaka vs Danielle Collins: Preview
Former World No. 1 Naomi Osaka has been unable to maintain the level of success she achieved with her performances from 2018 to 2021. The Japanese was expected to make a comeback at the Indian Wells 2022 after withdrawing from the French Open in 2021 and facing an early-round exit in the Australian Open 2022. However, she failed to do so in her most recent loss at the tournament where her run was cut short by Veronika Kudermetova.
Only four games were won by Osaka before she was defeated 6-0, 6-4. However, the former world number one staged a remarkable comeback in the first round of the Miami Open 2022 by upsetting Australia’s Astra Sharma, Angelique Kerber, Karoline Muchova and Alison Riske. Now, she will be looking forward to easing past the storm in the form of Danielle Collins in the quarter-finals.
On the other hand, Danielle Collins had a fantastic run in this year’s Australian Open, where she finished runner-up to Ashleigh Barty. She later withdrew from the Indian Wells 2022 tournament owing to illness. She appeared to be back in the game at the Miami Open 2022 when she came back from a set down to overcome World No. 76 Anna Bondar and advanced to the third round. In the third round and fourth Russian Vera Zvonareva and Tunisian Ons Jabeur awaited her, but the American breezed over them in straight sets. Based on her performance in the tournament, she is guaranteed to re-enter the world’s Top 10 next week.
Naomi Osaka vs Danielle Collins: Head-To-Head
Danielle Collins and Naomi Osaka will meet for the third time. Osaka leads the head-to-head series 2-0. In their most recent meeting, Osaka triumphed 6-4 6-2 in the third round of Indian Wells in 2019.
Naomi Osaka vs Danielle Collins: Prediction
There will be no clear favourites in this match, as both players are capable of giving each other a run for their money. However, when we look at the Head-to-Head comparison, it appears that the Japanese has a slight advantage. The former World No.1 is a fearless baseliner with one of the finest serves in the game and a knack for racking up free points with aces and service winners. Along with her big forehand, she also has a good return, which would be lethal for Danielle Collins.
The American, on the other hand, possesses a powerful serve and solid groundstrokes on both sides, making her one of the WTA Tour’s hardest hitters. Her game allows her to hit a lot of winners, but it also allows her to make a lot of high-risk unforced errors. As a result, if she keeps making the same mistakes, her quest of bringing the trophy home will come to an end here.
