Hailey Baptiste vs Naomi Osaka prediction
It’s always a mystery in terms of which Naomi Osaka we are set to see on court. Will it be the Osaka who makes plenty of unenforced errors and frustrates herself mentally. Or will it be the cool, calm and collected Osaka with a bullet serve, overwhelming power and all-round ability that has seen her win this tournament two times across her career.
New coach Tomasz Wiktoroski has successfully brought that second side of Osaka onto the court recently and the Japanese superstar looked promising in her straight sets win over Greet Minnen in round one. She now meets Hailey Baptiste, who is in the second round at Flushing Meadows for the first time in her career.
This contest will be all about Osaka though. If she can continue to play more consistently at the extremely high level that she is capable of, then Baptiste will really struggle to contain her and defend against such power. Osaka has two wins against Baptise already under her belt and is well worth backing to make it three here.
