Iga Swiatek vs Naomi Osaka Prediction & Picks - WTA French Open
by Edgar Jibran | in Tennis Picks
The WTA number 1 player, Iga Swiatek, is going to face the second round of Roland Garros next Wednesday, May 29th not before 07:30 am Central Time in a match that seems relatively easy for the Polish as she will face Naomi Osaka for a spot in the third round of this Grand Slam, Japanese player that has been completely away from the top 3 position she reached during 2019 and 2020 in the WTA ranking.
With this in mind, it’s clear that Swiatek is the absolute favorite to advance and the expectation for should be to try to emulate her first-round match, where she dominated Leolia Jeanjean in a match that only lasted 1 hour (6-1, 6-2). Nevertheless, Swiatek must be quite careful as she committed 18 unforced errors in the first round, number that isn’t within her standards.
On the other hand, Naomi Osaka is really far from her best shape, but it’s remarkable to remember that she has a lot of experience in Grand Slams as she was able to win the US Open in 2018 and 2020, as well as the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021, and that explains with a high level of certainty the very good presentation she had at the Masters 1000 in Rome, where she reached the round of 16.
