Osaka vs. Kerber: Olympic Match Prediction
In the final match of the first game day at the Olympic Games on July 27, Naomi Osaka will play Angelique Kerber. What will be the expert's prediction for the upcoming match?
Command Analysis
Naomi Osaka
JapanOsaka managed to play 29 matches after returning to the tour, winning 16 of them. On clay, the Japanese tennis player was remembered for her match at Roland Garros against Swiatek, where she was leading in the score, but still lost (6-7, 6-1, 5-7). In total, Naomi won five out of nine matches on clay courts in the tour. The last time she took to the court was in an official match in the second round of Wimbledon, where she was unable to do anything against Navarro (4-6, 1-6).
Angelique Kerber
GermanyKerber, like her upcoming opponent, returned to the tour this year after giving birth. The German has not achieved much success - only seven wins in 21 matches. Angelique can put the 1/8 finals in Indian Wells and Rome to her credit. At the moment, the experienced tennis player is on a series of five defeats in a row. She has not played anywhere since Wimbledon. Let us recall that Kerber was defeated by Putintseva in the first round on the courts in London (5-7, 3-6).

2.24Tip and bets
Bookmakers give Osaka a clear advantage in the upcoming match between the two experienced tennis players. This alignment of forces is largely due to the latest results in the tour. However, we do not think that Kerber will give up the game at the Olympics without a fight. In terms of her playing potential and experience, Angelique is in no way inferior to Naomi and is capable of putting up serious resistance today.
Our prediction is a Kerber victory with a handicap of (+5) games for a coefficient of 1.77 in the bookmaker Winline
Bet on total
It should be noted that the tennis players have played each other six times during their long careers and only once exchanged winning sets. Based on these statistics, we recommend the option of betting on the total under.
The second bet is total under 22 games for 1.69 on the Zenit BC line
Bet on the first set
Kerber has lost five matches in a row, but she has consistently forced her opponents to fight at the start. In each of these five matches, more than nine games were played in the first set, which is what we expect today.
Forecast - total games in the first set over 9.5 with odds of 2.31
