Montreal. Tough surface. Round of 16.
In the previous stage, Osaka defeated Samsonova, but had a hard time: she lost the first set and barely saved the second after a tiebreak. The quality of the Japanese player's game was not at its highest. When facing Ostapenko's sharp and aggressive attacks, Naomi won't have any chances to counter. If the Latvian can hit as well as she did in her previous match against Zarazua, the Japanese will suffer.
Ostapenko surprised a little with her confident performance after a month in Ghana. However, she struggled with the long rallies, as she had lost her rhythm. She had to give away the second set to her opponent. But she didn't let it go in Peru. In fact, she started the match in an exemplary manner - winning the first set 6:2.
