Peyton Stearns vs Naomi Osaka prediction
Naomi Osaka’s hot-streak on clay stretched to eight matches courtesy of an impressive 4-6 6-3 6-3 triumph over Marie Bouzkova.
The Japanese star will now meet another in-form player in the shape of American Peyton Stearns.
The 23-year-old is currently operating at a career-high 42 in the world but should crack the top 40 following this tournament after a magnificent 2-6 6-2 7-6 success over Madison Keys made it six wins in her last seven.
This will be the first meeting between the two players and the obvious pick would be the four-time Grand Slam champion.
However, Stearns knows a similar game-plan to the one that took down Keys could be the way to go and her agility on the surface may aid her hopes of what many would see as another upset.
