Third seeded Japanese superstar Naomi Osaka faces unseeded Su-Wei Hsieh of Taiwan in the Quarter-Finals of the 2021 Australian Open in Melbourne.
It was a fantastic match worthy of a final, with both players playing outstanding baseline tennis.
Naomi Osaka is considered the heavy favorite to reclaim her 2019 Australian Open title and she will feel extremely confident heading into this match against a player she has beaten four out of five times.
She is an extremely unorthodox player, using two hands on both wings and frequently using drop shots and slicing.
She has the type of game to unsettle Osaka if she is not fully focused and will be a dangerous opponent here as she is playing freely and without pressure.
While I think Hsieh is a dangerous opponent due to her unique style, I think that Osaka is in such good form that she should win comfortably.
