Naomi Osaka is eager to have another deep run at a major after she won the US Open back in September and a good draw will definitely help her.
Seeded no.4, the Japanese sensation is not expected to have a tough match until the quarter when she is meant to face Eina Svitolina. Naomi may play Vika Azarenka in the 3rd round, but the former world no.1 is quite far from her best form.
In 2018, Naomi Reached the 4th round at the Australian Open before losing to Simona Halep 6-3 6-2.
