THE PREDICTION
This will be the third meeting this season between former world number one Naomi Osaka and former number four Caroline Garcia, who somewhat spoiled Osaka’s welcome party at the Australian Open in searing straight sets. The Frenchwoman has barely won a match since, losing a rematch with Osaka at the Qatar Masters last month as the returning Japanese enjoyed an encouraging run to the quarter-finals, but Garcia remains one of the more unpredictable performers on tour – capable of once again bursting into her elusive world-beating best at any moment.
26-year-old Osaka looked in great shape against a fellow returning mother in Elina Svitolina on Saturday, beating the Ukrainian in straight sets to maintain a steady course across the Sunshine Double, and she should have the confidence to quash any signs of a surge from Garcia here. Leaving this match out of an accumulator would be wise but otherwise back Osaka to win in straight sets.
TIP: NAOMI OSAKA TO WIN 2-0
