Naomi Osaka is the former world number 1, and she also has 4 grand slam victories. She had a lackluster 2021 season after winning the second Australian Open title. She also dropped out of the top 50 in the world and took some breaks to focus on her mental health. Her return was not quite exuberant but she has been improving. She went on to the finals of the Miami Open which concluded on 2nd April but lost to Iga Swiatek in the final. Osaka is back in Madrid to follow up on her runner-up campaign in Miami. If she regains top form, she is a favorite to win in Madrid.

Anastasia Potapova, currently ranked number 78 in the world is coming off of a tournament victory in Istanbul. She defeated Veronika Kudermetova 6-3, 6-1 in the final to claim her first singles title. She was the former world number 1 junior. Having had the taste of a tournament victory, Potapova will be itching to continue her amazing run in Madrid. She has also won both of her qualifying matches to set up a first-round clash with Naomi Osaka.

Anastasia Potapova and Naomi Osaka will face each other for the first time in Madrid Open 2022. They have never met each other on the court and this will be Potapova’s first experience of facing the former world number 1 and four-time Grand Slam Champion. Potapova herself is coming off a 9-win streak and Osaka wouldn’t want to be number 10 and have an unexpected end to her campaign.

This is supposed to be an easy matchup for Naomi, who is looking like she has gained her confidence back after being the runner-up at the Miami Open. Potapova will try to present a challenge for Osaka, which shouldn’t be much of a problem for Osaka.

Prediction: Naomi Osaka wins in two sets.
