Ariana Arseneault vs Naomi Osaka prediction

Ariana Arseneault had to come through a qualifier to reach the first round but the Canadian managed to overcome Destanee Aiava in straight sets. The 23-year-old from Richmond Hill in Ontation will relish this opportunity against such a high-profile player in Naomi Osaka and there is no pressure on her coming into this one.

Ranked 511 in the world in singles, Arseneault is more adept in doubles, but that only heightens the fact that there is zero pressure on her coming into this first-round encounter.

Osaka has struggled with pressure and expectation, as she continues to hit the heights she has previously reached.

The 27-year-old has now announced a split with her coach Patrick Mouratoglou and it will be interesting to see if that has any impact at all.

While she seems to be trying all kinds of different approaches to find a change in fortunes, Osaka should still have far too much quality for Arseneault and we expect the Japanese star to win in straight sets.
