Iga Swiatek vs Naomi Osaka | 2022 Miami Open | Where to watch | Final Preview
Grand Slam champions Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka are set to lock horns at the 2022 Miami Open Women’s singles final in a highly anticipated showdown on Saturday.
Iga Swiatek Miami Open 2022 Final Preview
Iga Swiatek’s form over the last few weeks has been unbelievable. She bagged the titles at the previous two WTA 1000 tournaments in Indian Wells and Qatar. At the Miami Open, she secured the World No. 1 ranking by securing her second-round match and has moved into the final without dropping a set.
Swiatek is also on the brink of achieving the “sunshine double,” winning the Indian Wells Open and Miami Open in succession. It’s a extraordinary feat in tennis, as only 3 women, German Steffi Graf in 1994 and 1996, Belgian Kim Clijsters in 2005 and Belarusian Victoria Azarenka in 2016 have managed to achieve it.
The 20-year-old is presently on a 16-match winning stretch and appears to be headed for her sixth career title and her 4th at the WTA 1000 level.
Naomi Osaka Miami Open 2022 Final Preview
Naomi Osaka, on the other hand, is experiencing a rebirth in Miami. The former World No. 1 has revived the form that led to her lifting four Grand Slam titles. It has been a quick reversal for the Japanese after a frustrating outing at Indian Wells.
Osaka’s Indian Wells run ended in the 2nd round, during which she was reduced to tears by a heckler as well. She has performed pretty well in Miami, trouncing quality players like Danielle Collins, Angelique Kerber and Belinda Bencic to reach the title round.
This is Naomi Osaka’s first final since earning the 2021 Australian Open. She’s aiming to win her 8th career title and her 3rd at the WTA 1000 level, having in the past won the Indian Wells Open in 2018 and the China Open in 2019.
