Naomi Osaka and Ajla Tomljanovic are going to clash in the second round of the Miami Open on Friday at 1 pm on the Grandstand. The world no.2 is the hot favorite to win the encounter, however, Ajla will probably count on the precious support and advice of her boyfriend Matteo Berrettini.
Currently ranked no.10, Matteo wasn’t fit to compete in Miami because of the abdominal injury he sustained during the Australian Open that prevented him from playing the 4th round. However, Berrettini decided to stay in Miami to support his girlfriend. In a funny video, he maintains that he has been coaching her.
