Serena Williams v Naomi Osaka predictions, betting tips and odds (US Open Final 2018)
- Written by David Bet
23-time Grand Slam Champion, Serena Williams, takes on 20-year-old Naomi Osaka, who is making her first appearance in a major final, in the US Open final. This post contains our Williams vs Osaka betting preview, with free predictions, betting tips, best odds, exclusive free bets and no deposit bonuses on 2018 US Open.
The American only returned to action in March after more than a year out on maternity leave. She reached the fourth round of the French Open and finished runner-up at Wimbledon, but outside of that she hasn’t really hit top stride. A big question mark for Serena in this tournament was regarding her fitness but she has managed to silence many doubters as she looked very fresh and fit in the semifinal. Aside from a chance to win her 24th Grand Slam tournament and tie Margaret Court for the all-time record, she will also be motivated not to lose back to back encounters against the Japanese, and not to lose a second-straight Grand Slam final, after her Wimbledon defeat at the hands of Angelique Kerber.
Osaka is a power-hitter and someone who isn’t afraid to go for her shots to finish a point early. Furthermore, the world No. 20 has found defensive brilliance and looks capable of causing an upset. She will to get the ball back into play as much as possible and she needs to move Williams around the court, just like Kerber did in the Wimbledon final. Her mental fortitude against Keys was also encouraging with Osaka saving every break point she faced.
