Anisimova vs Osaka: prediction for the WTA French Open match

Amanda Anisimova surprised many people with her performance at 2019 Roland Garros. Back then, a young player unexpectedly reached the semifinals. However, in 2020 and in 2021 she was not as successful - in 2020 she got eliminated in the third round and in the previous year she was defeated by Veronika Kudermetova in the first round. 

This time USA representative has every chance for another impressive run. Amanda is looking great in the current season, winning 20 matches of 28. She recorded ten of these victories on clay courts. 

Naomi Osaka is currently only at 38th position in the world rankings. Sometimes she performs well, for example, she reached the final of Miami tournament, but she is not consistent enough. 

Japanese player is not looking impressive on clay courts throughout her career and she admits that it is not her favourite surface to play on. In 2022 Naomi participated only in one clay tournament, at Madrid. She was eliminated in the second round by Sorribes Tormo (3:6, 1:6). Osaka withdrew from participating at Rome tournament due to an injury. A former World No. 1 is in a rusty form, so it is hard to expect a successful performance from her.
