Two-time champion Naomi Osaka will face 2023 semi-finalist Karolina Muchova in a tough second-round matchup. Osaka beat highly ranked Jelena Ostapenko on Tuesday in two straight sets, setting up a battle with Muchova who won against Katie Volynets in two sets. If Osaka lost, it would be a disastrous exit to her campaign in New York as she looks to put her 2022 loss in the hands of Danielle Collins in the rear mirror.

Key Stats
Naomi Osaka
Naomi Osaka hopes to overcome her second-round exit bad luck after going home in round two in her previous major events at Wimbledon and Rolando Garros. As Wild Card, the 26-year-old must be brimming with confidence after beating a top 10 player in four years. However, it will be a tough battle against Muchova as she tries to avoid another exit in the second round.
Karolina Muchova
Muchova will be looking to improve on her last year run at the US Open where she lost to American Coco Gauff who won the grand slam in Queens in 2023. However, the Czechia player has not played much in the last 12 months, battling a wrist injury. She has been on the sidelines for around 10 months after undergoing surgery on the wrist.
The 52-ranked player has had mixed results and it might be difficult to predict how she will perform during this encounter. In Cincinnati, the 28-year-old player lost in the second round against Jessica Pegula and will be hoping to overcome the former US champion into the third round.
Prediction
The head-to-head tie between the two players is tied, 1-1. These two players first met four years in Cincinnati where Osaka won in three sets. However, Karolina Muchova beat Osaka in the next year at the Madrid Open in three sets. Even though Osaka small win rate, 18-15, Muchova has only played 10 games so far in 2024, making it difficult to gauge her form.
Final Pick
Naomi Osaka (ML), -155
