Betting Tips 2-0 Osaka
Odds: 1.72
Stake: 6/10 units
Little has been said about tennis in the last few days, but more about the surrounding area. On Sunday evening, the discussion about the Mladenovic disqualification was forgotten after Novak Djokovic made a faux pas and hit a linesman in the larynx, for which his disqualification was inevitable.
Before and after that, tennis was played in the largest tennis stadium and there was one or the other surprise. Above all, the Americans present themselves as strong as a bear in their homeland and delivered surprises in the person of Brady (against Kerber) and Rogers (against Kvitova). In the quarter-finals there will be a duel between Naomi Osaka and Shelby Rogers.
Early risers were able to watch the last rallies of the Japanese Osaka live on Monday morning. The current number nine in the world eliminated Estonian Anett Kontaveit with a sovereign performance. An appearance that made another impression. Unsurprisingly, Osaka is a clear favorite against Rogers according to current odds from the best bookmakers.
Betting Prediction: Osaka -4.5
Odds: 1.80
Naomi Osaka – statistics & current form
The 22-year-old Japanese has made headlines a lot in the past few days. She wants to use her popularity to address certain grievances in the world. This exemplary role is undoubtedly also a motivation, because Osaka has prepared seven different masks for the on-court interviews to commemorate victims of racism. Reaching the finals is necessary so that all of these masks can be used.
Five tournament victories, two GS titles
A look at the Asian’s achievements shows that she can get her best tennis, especially at big tournaments. Her star rose two years ago when she defeated her great idol Serena Williams in straight sets in the final of the US Open 2018 and celebrated her greatest success.
At the beginning of the 2019 season, she repeated her feat and was crowned Grand Slam winner in Melbourne. There are now five WTA titles in her resume, including two Grand Slam triumphs and two Masters victories. Osaka is definitely a player for the big moments and especially hard to beat on hard court with her power tennis, which is reminiscent of Serena’s in her best days.
Sovereign appearance in the tournament so far
After Osaka could not play her final against Victoria Azaranka at the restart before the US Open, there was a big question mark about her fitness. In the course of the tournament so far, this has not been felt, because the current number nine in the world (fourth on the seeding list) is in good shape.
In the round of 16 against Anett Kontaveit, Osaka impressed across the board. With a very strong serve performance (71% first serves in the field, no breakball allowed) the foundation stone for the two-set success was laid. A break was enough in both sets to do justice to the role of favorite. With such an appearance in the quarter-finals between Osaka and Rogers, the prediction of a 2-0 for the favorite seems logical.
Shelby Rogers – stats & current form
Actually, the tennis fans were prepared for a great duel against the Czech Petra Kvitova, but Shelby Rogers advanced to spoil the game with a strong performance. The 27-year-old American is only number 93 in the WTA world rankings and has never been better classified than ranked 48 (April 2017).
Second GS quarter-finals of her career
Nevertheless, the appearance in the round of eight at a Grand Slam tournament on Tuesday is not a premiere. In 2016, she was completely surprising in the quarter-finals of the French Open, although Rogers is anything but a clay court specialist. A parallel to this year is the win against Petra Kvitova, at that time she eliminated the Czech in a memorable third-round game 6: 0, 6: 7, 6: 0.
The best result in her American homeland so far was the third round in 2017 before she went through a period of severe suffering and only played two games in 2018 due to a protracted knee injury. Also in 2019 she missed the US Open main competition (out of qualification).
Strong nerves bring victory against Kvitova
In the first three rounds the American was not really challenged and won in two straight sets. She didn’t play more than six games against Khromacheva, Rybakina or Brengle.
With Petra Kvitova, however, there was a big hurdle waiting in the round of 16, where she was considered a clear outsider. In the end, nuances tipped the balance in favor of the outsider, who showed her best tennis especially in the “crunch time”. With a score of 4: 5, she even had to fend off three match points in the decision set before she was also faced with a match point in the tie-break at 5: 6.
However, the Czech could not take advantage of all these chances, she even had the match point in the tie-break when she served her own. Rogers, however, took their first chance and fixed the first-time entry into the top eight of New York.
Completely surprisingly, Shelby Rogers was able to advance to the quarter-finals as an unseed player in the upper tableau. It would be a real sensation, however, if in the duel between Naomi Osaka and Shelby Rogers the tip on the American would again be crowned with success. Osaka’s performances have been extremely convincing so far, there are no signs of failure.
Naomi Osaka vs Shelby Rogers Direct comparison
Head-to-head: 0: 3
A look at the direct comparison of the two quarter-finalists reveals a surprising picture. The two women have faced each other three times on the tour, and the current number 93 in the WTA world rankings prevailed.
This balance is put into perspective on closer inspection, because the games were played in 2013, 2015 and 2017. In the first duel in 2013, Osaka was only 15 years old and still far from their current class.
