Our Karolina Muchova vs Naomi Osaka Prediction
The Difference Maker: Karolina Muchova was already in sharp form even before she kicked off her campaign in Beijing. Muchova salvaged two wins to help Czechia win the Billie Jean King Cup.
Meanwhile, Osaka has struggled against top-10 competition this year, winning 1 of 8 matches against these players.
What to Expect: Muchova flexes her muscle to beat Naomi Osaka in straight sets. Muchova is winning 76.2 percent of her first serves and has faced only 8 break points so far in this tournament. Osaka will need to sustain the level of play she showed against Bejlek to get a better shot at an upset in this duel.
Regardless, Muchova has the momentum and level to take out Osaka again, and even record another sweep over the former world No.1.
Fearless Forecast: Karolina Muchova wins 6-3, 6-4
Our betting prediction for Karolina Muchova vs. Naomi Osaka: Karolina Muchova 2-0 Sets
