Command Analysis
Naomi Osaka
JapanCurrent form
Due to an injury, Osaka did not perform on the tour for a long time after the Australian Open. The first match after the break in Indian Wells ended for the Japanese tennis player with a defeat from Osorio Serrano with a score of 4-6, 4-6. Naomi was also close to losing in the first round of Miami from Starodubtseva, but Yulia did not have enough experience to end the match in her favor (3-6, 6-4, 6-3).
Professional qualities
Osaka relies on a powerful serve and a strong forehand in her game. She's not famous for playing stable games at the reception, plus she's noticeably slowed down in terms of movement speed on the court.
Current indicators in the tour
The former world number one is currently ranked 61st in the world rankings. Naomi has seven wins and four losses since the beginning of the year.
Interesting facts for betting
- Osaka has played three sets in three of the last five matches.
- In the last face-to-face meeting, Naomi lost to Samsonova.
Liudmila Samsonova
Russian FederationCurrent form
Samsonova performed well at the previous Indian Wells tournament, where she made it to the quarterfinals. Lyudmila could not cope at those competitions only with the first racket of the world Arina Sobolenko (2-6, 3-6). In Miami, she starts immediately from the second round, and it is worth noting that she has overcome this barrier only once in her entire career here.
Professional qualities
Lyudmila plays in an attacking manner, relying on a powerful serve and strong punches with both hands. When a Russian woman gets in shape, it's not easy to stop her. She's in solid playing condition right now.
Current indicators in the tour
Samsonova has not shown consistent results throughout the season, but nevertheless has nine wins in 16 matches. In the world ranking, the former 12th racket of the world is in 21st position.
Interesting facts for betting
- In seven of the previous eight matches, Samsonova played the minimum number of sets.
- In three consecutive matches with Samsonova, no more than nine games were played in the first set.

2.04Tip and bets
After an injury, Osaka couldn't cope with Osorio Serrano in Indian Wells and barely passed Starodubtsev in the first round in Miami. Clearly, Naomi is still far from her more or less optimal playing conditions. Samsonova, on the contrary, played out in Indian Well, gained confidence in her own abilities and is able to build on her success at the next tournament.
Our betting tip is that Samsonova will win with a coefficient of 1.93

The second bet is a total of more than 22 games for 1.88
