Naomi Osaka and Kristina Mladenovic are going to face off in the 2nd round in Indian Wells.
Osaka
Naomi is trying to get back to a positive mental state after a turbulent February when the Japanese parted ways with her coach Sascha Bajin before crashing out in the opener in Dubai at the hands of her upcoming opponent in Indian Wells. Osaka is currently partnering with her new coach Jermaine Jenkins, and it seems that their relationship is excellent.
Mladenovic
Ranked no.65, Kiki is trying to find her best form. She won one of the most important matches of her career in February against Osaka, but she knows very well that the Japanese was in a bad mental state and therefore she needs to do more this time in Indian Wells. Kiki accessed the 2nd round in Indian Wells after she defeated Saisai Zhen 7-5 6-2 in the 1st round.
H2H Naomi Osaka vs. Kiki Mladenovic
