Naomi Osaka's next match: Opponent, venue, live streaming, TV channel and schedule | Miami Open 2022 4th Round
Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka will meet World No. 50 Alison Riske on Monday, with a quarter-final berth up for grabs at the Miami Open.
Osaka has been in a rich vein of form so far in the WTA 1000 tournament. She started her campaign with a dominant 6-3, 6-4 win over Astra Sharma. The Japanese then blew away 13th seed Angelique Kerber 6-2, 6-3 in a battle between two former World No. 1s.
Osaka was then given a walkover into the fourth round by former Australian Open semifinalist Karolina Muchova. The Czech, playing her first tournament in seven months, had to withdraw due to injury.
Former World No.1 Naomi Osaka is through to the fourth round of Miami Open 💪
Karolina Muchova had to withdraw due to an injury, which means Osaka reached last 16 without stepping on the court 👌

ALISON RISKE INTO HER FIRST MIAMI FOURTH ROUND!!!!! 6-2 3-6 6-3 LETS GO CONGRATULATIONS ALI!!!! @Riske4rewards https://t.co/ouXnrTQPhd
Osaka's opponent, Alison Riske, reached a career-high No. 18 in the world not long ago and has three titles to her credit. The Pittsburgh-born 31-year-old is known for her prowess on faster surfaces and has a Wimbledon quarterfinal on her resume as well.
Riske missed the last edition of the Miami Open due to a foot injury. She has gradually built her form back since her return in May 2021. Riske made the final at Portoroz in September before ending the season on a high with the title at Linz.
She made a brilliant start to 2022 with a runner-up finish at the Adelaide International. At Indian Wells two weeks ago, she knocked out Garbine Muguruza in three sets before crashing out in the third round.
Riske has carried that momentum into the Miami Open. She has dropped just a set in three matches so far, with 31st seed Alize Cornet being one of her victims.
The American will hope to produce a confident display against Osaka. The head-to-head between the two players is tied at 1-1.
