Naomi Osaka's next match: Opponent, venue, live streaming, TV channel and details | Libema Open 2024, R2
Naomi Osaka had on Tuesday logged her first win on grass in over five years at the 2024 Libema Open. The Japanese player, who had received a wildcard into the main draw, ousted fourth seed Elise Mertens in fine fashion to win 6-2, 6-4.
The former World No. 1 will now run into fellow wildcard Suzan Lamens, who also scored a bit of an upset after taking out American Bernarda Pera in her opening match.
The second-round encounter presents a great opportunity for both players, with Osaka eyeing a solid run to build momentum ahead of the Wimbledon Championships. Lamens, meanwhile, will also be looking to continue her good run in front of home fans.
Where is Naomi Osaka playing?
Osaka is currently playing at the 2024 Libema Open, a tournament which is part of the WTA 250 series. As one of the first tournaments of the short grass swing, it serves as a warm-up to bigger tournaments including the season's third Grand Slam — the Wimbledon Championships. It is hosted on outdoor grasscourts of the Autotron Rosmalen.
Former Libema Open winners include Martina Hingis, Kim Clijsters, Simona Halep, Anett Kontaveit, Ekaterina Alexandrova, Camila Giorgi and Alison Riske, among others.
Who is Naomi Osaka playing against?
Osaka will lock horns against fellow wildcard Suzan Lamens in the second-round encounter at the 2024 Libema Open.
The Japanese had come close to an upset when she held match point against eventual French Open champion Iga Swiatek in the second round of the claycourt Slam. She will be keen to move past the disappointment of having failed to get over the line by turning in a strong show at ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
Lamens, meanwhile, will also be looking to make the most of her wildcard opportunity. She scored an upset win over the seasoned Bernarda Pera in her opener. Buoyed by the home advantage, she can give her opponent a few things to think about.
