Naomi Osaka begins the quest for a third US Open title on Wednesday, with a first-round match against Greet Minnen. This will be the second career meeting between the two, and the winner will face either Hailey Baptiste or Katerina Siniakova next. Let’s have a look at the preview and a prediction.

Minnen is playing in her third Slam of the year, having skipped Wimbledon. At the Australian and French Open, she couldn’t go past the opening round. The two defeats are part of her eight first-round losses this season.

Her major highlights were at the ITF level, winning in Birmingham and reaching the Oeiras final. On tour, she’s managed just six main draw wins. Her loss to Talia Gibson in Cleveland was her third straight first-round defeat, and she’s 110th in the live rank. 

Osaka, on the other hand, looks to improve on her final loss to Victoria Mboko at the Canadian Open. For the four-time Grand Slam winner, the three-set loss was a massive shocker after beating Elina Svitolina, Clara Tauson, and Jelena Ostapenko along the way.

On her ninth main draw appearance here, among Osaka’s ambitions will be to go all the way. Her only title after the 2021 Australian Open was at the ITF level, winning in Saint-Malo.

Her first-round record here stands at 7-1, which should build her confidence, coming into this match 25th in the live rank.
