Osaka vs Gauff: Head-to-Head & Prediction
Over the past couple of years, these two athletes have faced each other on two occasions. They manage to bring the best game out of each other.
They played once during the US Open 2019 and that match was won by the four-time Grand Slam champion Osaka. She gave Gauff just three games during the entire match.
In the following year, they met again during the Australian Open in Melbourne. However, this time, it was the young American talent who was on the victorious side in straight sets. When they face today, it’ll be the experience of the Japanese that will give her the slight edge.
Prediction: Naomi Osaka to win in three sets.
