Ashlyn Krueger looks to take advantage of a +4.5-game head start against Naomi Osaka in the second round of the 2026 Washington D.C Open.
Current Form:
Naomi Osaka gets her North American hard-court swing going as she faces a tough opponent in the second round. Fresh off her first quarterfinal appearance at the 2026 Wimbledon Open, Osaka returns to her favorite surface, where she’s expected to deal major damage and produce prolific results.
Ashlyn Krueger earned her spot in the round of 16 at Washington after rallying from a set down to beat Katie Boulter 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. The American is now 7-7 on the hard court in 2026.
The Matchup: Osaka is the favorite, but Krueger will not be a pushover as she already defeated the Japanese 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 in Cincinnati two years ago.
