Command Analysis
Naomi Osaka
JapanCurrent Form
Osaka is performing at a high level in the Beijing tournament, showing notable improvement compared to her outings in the American hard court events. Naomi has secured victories against Bronzetti, Putintseva, and Volynets. The only setback was against the tenacious Putintseva, where she dropped a set (3-6, 6-4, 6-2) after struggling to find her rhythm early on.

Naomi possesses powerful shots from both wings, with her forehand being particularly strong. Additionally, the former world number one boasts a solid first serve. However, her return game can be inconsistent at times.

Osaka made her return to the tour this year after giving birth. While she hasn't faced any major downfalls, significant successes have also been elusive. Currently, her record on hard courts stands at 13 wins and 9 losses.

It's fair to say that Gauff isn't playing at her best right now, as she seems to struggle at the start of her matches and makes several unforced errors. On the other hand, Osaka is also facing challenges with her speed. Yet, Gauff has the potential to elevate her game. We believe that she will secure victory today thanks to her speed and pace.
Our prediction is a Gauff win with odds of 1.65
