Coco Goff and Nomie Osaka, the former hero, will go to face in a match in the fourth round of the United States Open Monday evening, after reserving their places in the last 16 contradictory styles.
Gauff in the past Magdalena Frech of Poland 6-3, 6-1 toured, while Osaka has clashed for the past Daria Kasatkina 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 to make the fourth round of specialization for the first time since its victory in the Australian Open in 2021.
This will be the sixth match ever, and the first in the United States Open since 2019-its first meeting-when Osaka defeated Gauff 6-3, 6-0. Gauff gained its revenge on the Australian Open in 2020 in their next match, and then traded in the following two. Recently, Gauff is advanced in Beijing in 2024, when Osaka retired by infection in one group, making the total 3-2.
It is a pivotal match for both players. For Gauff, it is an opportunity to reach the four years in four years. For Osaka, it is an opportunity to re -establish herself at the end of business for the first time since she became a mother.
What a hollow should do to win
One simple part: If she serves well, she will have a great opportunity to win.
No one has served more dual mistakes than in the past three years – it has closed 1000 since the beginning of 2023. Its service is still working under the supervision of Javin McMelan, the man who healed the ravages of the Arena Sabalinka service a few years ago.
Gauff has reduced her pace in an attempt to get more service first and get rid of her second service, which is still fragile. Osaka is an aggressive return, so anything short will be punished, and in itself it will be pressure. But no one is more battles than Gauff and will fight like her life depends on her.
But even when you don’t serve well, Gauff has shown great flexibility, and as it has proven in the French Open, it can even win the battery championships when it is not at its best.
What Osaka should do to win
Osaka has returned better than Gauff so far in this tournament, as it restores 83 percent of the balls, on average, and won 38 percent on average when returning to the first service and 73 percent enormous when returning the second service.
This shows the troubles of Gauff if she misses often, because Osaka will turn on anything short. Its movement has been greatly improved in recent months and its confidence. When you are in a position that is allowed to break a front or background, it is a strong dangerous, dominates the 0-4 shots.
When Osaka is at its best, it excels in tennis the first strike, and if it continues to hit the ball as it was, you must get a lot of opportunities to control gatherings against Gauff, whose counter skills will be tested.
What they say about each other
Gauff in their 2019 US open match: “I remember it was a difficult moment for me because it was a burdened match. I think I put a lot of pressure on myself thinking that I may have had the opportunity at that moment to do something, which is what I definite It could have been more than that, but I felt more than that.
Osaka on Jouf: “Can anyone come to the match and cheer for me because it is difficult to play an American here? I see her a kind of her little sister, so it is great to play her here again. Just play it now.
Who will win?
Given that Osaka has not reached four four championships since 2021, it is strange that this match seems to be a little bit of throwing. But she is confident of reaching the final match in Canada and began to look like a woman who has four large championships in her name, while Jouf is still fighting herself as she tries to fix her work.
With the exception of their last meeting, when Osaka was injured after the second group, the player who won the first group won all the other four clashes, so the quick start is necessary. Gauff will get the crowd on its part, but this brings its own pressure, while Osaka plays the great tennis again, so this type of match that can raise real competition for the next few years.
Prediction: Three groups, to Osaka.
