Here we have an exciting and interesting match between the world number 17 and the world number 16. Iva Jovic and Naomi Osaka are both hugely capable of going deep at the best tournaments, and both players come into this third-round clah in hot form. Jovic has already brushed aside Alexandra Eala and Emma Navarro, showing that she means business, while Osaka has defeated Larua Siegemund and Donna Vekic.
Jovic's early-tournament achievements are a little better than Osaka's but the Grand Slam winner has beaten those in front of her, and she's done it easily, so don't rush to assume that she'll struggle here. In truth, neither player has given much away, and as the rankings suggest, we could be in for a close match, one that lasts a while, and on that basis, a bet on 'Over 2.5 Sets' is warranted.

Our Iva Jovic vs Naomi Osaka Prediction
Both Jovic and Osaka are capable of beatiing the very best, so neither player is about to cause an upset here, and it won't exactly be surprising whoever goes through. However, it would be surprising if one of these two fierce competitors lost this match in straight sets. What's more, Iva Jovic has a recent habit of fighting out three-set matches against players of Osaka's level, which bodes well.
Given how closely matched these two appear to be, odds of +135 for 'Over 2.5 Sets' look a little too large to ignore. The price could easily drop as this match gets closer, that's for sure.
Our Iva Jovic vs Naomi Osaka Pick: Over 2.5 Sets.
