French Open 2024: Iga Swiatek vs Naomi Osaka preview, head-to-head, prediction ahead of thrilling second round

Top-seeded Iga Swiatek is set to take on four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka in the second round of the French Open 2024, which is slated to take place on May 29 in Paris. Notably, the Polish tennis player has been unbeatable on the WTA Tour, while Osaka is still trying to go back to the red dirt.

In addition, Iga Swiatek defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the final match of both the 2024 Madrid Open and the Italian Open to capture the title. Furthermore, she had already won Roland-Garros on three occasions when she was 23. However, it seems that Clay has been Swiatek's domain, so playing against the Pole in the French Open will always be difficult for any player.

On the other hand, Naomi Osaka has four Grand Slam wins on hard courts. She overcame six-time US Open singles champion Serena Williams 6-2, 6-4 to win her first Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows back in 2018.
