consistent groundstrokes and movement to take the final three games of the match.

However a tough task potentially awaits Osaka as she could face the Roland Garros defending champion and world number one Iga Swiatek of Poland in round two.

Monday in her opening round match, Swiatek takes on the qualifier and 148th ranked Leolia Jeanjean of France.

The 22 year old Swiatek is tied with Osaka 1-1 head to head with Swiatek winning the duo's last meeting in the final of the Miami Open at Miami, Florida 6-4, 6-0 in March of 2022.

Osaka defeated Swiatek 7-6(7-4), 6-4 in the third round of the Rogers Cup in Toronta, Canada in 2019.

Osaka is a four time grand slam winner after winning the both Australian Open and the US Open twice.

However Osaka; more of a hardcourt player than a claycourter has never advanced past round three at Roland Garros.

Swiatek, like Osaka, is a four time four grand slam winner with three victories at Roland Garros and one at the US Open.

Should the two grand slam champions meet, Osaka most likely would look to overpower Swiatek from the baseline.

Swiatek relies more on placement and consistency as opposed to raw power.

At Roland Garros in 2021, Osaka became an advocate for and helped to raise awareness of the mental health struggles of althetes.
