Xinyu Wang vs Naomi Osaka prediction
Xinyu Wang was handed a walkover to the semi-finals in Bad Homburg after Elina Svitolina was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to a right hip injury. The Chinese player has not dropped a set across her two matches so far, as she comfortably got past Renata Zarazua and Leylah Fernandez.
Her semi-final opponent is four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka. The former world number one produced a ruthless display in the last eight as she got past Ekaterina Alexandrova in straight sets. Osaka conceded just two break points and won 94% of her points on first serve as he won 6-2 6-2. She is through to her second ever semi-final on grass and her first since 2018.
Osaka’s serve is always such a weapon on a quick surface, but her return game has also been very effective this week. If she maintains her level, it will be difficult for Wang to stop her in this match.
