Naomi Osaka vs Jasmine Paolini prediction
Naomi Osaka will be aiming to heap more misery on Jasmine Paolini.
The Japanese star has enjoyed an excellent season and is one victory away from notching her best win tally since 2019.
In contrast, Paolini is enduring her weakest campaign since 2022 and could yet end the year outside the top 40.
The Italian does lead the head-to-head 1-0 having won in three sets in Miami last year, but both players are in very different form now and it’s hard to back against Naomi in this latest meeting.
