On Friday, in the Italian capital of Rome, where the Internazionali BNL D’Italia takes place, Naomi Osaka will play her second tournament of the European clay court season. Despite being away from the court for a while, not playing on clay for nearly a year, the four-time Grand Slam winner made a pleasing return to action in Madrid, beating two players in straight sets, before going three sets with the world number one. Given her absence, those efforts were rather impressive.
A former quarter-finalist in Rome, Osaka looks well worth betting on to see of Eva Lys without dropping a set. Let's be honest, she has the quality to get this done without dropping a set, while Lys doesn't have a great record against higher-ranked players recently losing to two such opponents in straight sets.

Our Naomi Osaka vs Eva Lys Prediction
Sure, Naomi Osaka comes into this match off the back of a loss, but she lost to the world number one, and had made a fabulous start to the clay-court season before that, beating both Camila Osorioa and Anhelina Kalinina, both of whom are strong on clay, in straight sets. On that evidence, she looks to a good bet to see off Eva Lys without much of a fuss.
After all, the German endured a tough first-round match, so it's easy to question whether she has enough left in the tank to seriously battle a top-20 player.
