Naomi Osaka vs Qinwen Zheng: Preview

Naomi Osaka

World No. 40 Naomi Osaka has not been in her best form this year and hasn’t been on the court much as well. Having started her season at the Melbourne Summer Set, she made it to the semifinals after bowing out of the tournament with an injury. She made it to the third round at the Australian Open and made it to the second round at the Indian Wells Open and the Madrid Open. Her best result this season was the runners up finish at the Miami Open where she lost to Iga Swiatek. Osaka’s clay swing was rather short. She caught an achilles injury during the first round loss against Anisimova in the French Open match and hasn’t played a single match since then.

On the other hand, Qinwen Zheng reached a career-high ranking of No. 46 this year and started the season by reaching the semifinals of the Melbourne Summer Set after making it through the qualifier stages. She made it to the second round in the Australian Open and at the French Open, she made it to the fourth round losing to champion Iga Swiatek. She made it to the third round in the Wimbledon before losing to the champion Elena Rybakina.
