Prediction
In the 2022 Tokyo Open’s second round, Beatriz Haddad Maia, ranked 16th in the world, will take on the local star and reigning champion Naomi Osaka.
Haddad Maia has had the kind of season that has established her as a household name. Even though her performances in the last three tournaments haven’t quite met these elevated standards, she should nonetheless enter her second-round match very confident. This came after she defeated Yuki Naito 6-4, 6-2 in her opening round, sending the Japanese opponent packing.
Haddad Maia’s ability to stave off Naito in the most trying circumstances was evident in the fight. In the clash, she prevented five breakpoints while breaking the Japanese player three times. Haddad Maia’s serving was particularly impressive and the Brazilian won 80% of the points she served and received.
Meanwhile, Osaka entered this match with a four-match losing run, and while she did end the curse, it was really tragically inconvenient for her. Daria Saville, Osaka’s opponent in the first round, began the first set with a whimper of agony and appeared to have injured her knee. Even though Saville was eventually able to move around cautiously, she was unable to complete the match, giving Osaka the victory. As a result, Osaka has yet to complete a match after defeating Qinwen Zheng in San Jose’s first round.
Osaka’s win-loss record is actually a pitiful 3-7 ever since reaching the Miami Open final. Can she beat a player who is in the best shape and confidence of her life right now? Interestingly, it’s Osaka favourite to win this but looking at Haddad Maia’s form, it’s difficult to say so.
