Naomi Osaka and Bianca Andreescu are going to face off in a blockbuster quarterfinal in Beijing on Friday for the first time in their career. There are many parallels between the Canadian and the Japanese also because both won their first big title in Indian Wells and their first major at the Us Open.
Why Andreescu was better than Osaka according to Naomi
However, doing the proper comparisons, the Japanese things that Bianca’s 2019 was better than her 2018. During the press conference following her win against Alison Riske, Naomi commented
” I was watching her play in Toronto when I was there. It’s pretty obvious, but she seems to be… well, she is an amazing player. I don’t know. I feel like she’s doing better than I was last year, so it’s all cool. I have to learn from her, too.”
