Prediction

Considering that Osaka is a 3-time Grand Slam champion and a winner of the Australian Open, many might pick her to be the favorite to win tomorrow’s match. However, those are not the only factors that must be taken into account.

The Japanese star recently played a tough match in her previous round and hence, she could be fatigued. On the other hand, Hsieh Su-wei has won all of her matches in straight sets, meaning she will be fresh for her match.

In addition to that, she has also caused problems for Osaka in the past. All of this indicates that Hsieh Su-wei could potentially upset Naomi when she plays her tomorrow.

Prediction: Hsieh Su-Wei beats Naomi Osaka in 3 sets
