The French Open runner-up has been in good form over the past few months and was dominant against the Ukrainian. She served seven aces throughout the match and won 25 out of 28 points on her first serve.
Osaka and Gauff will lock horns for the fourth time, with the Japanese currently leading 2-1 in the head-to-head. The first meeting between the two players came in 2019 in the third round of the US Open, with the former World No. 1 thrashing the teenager 6-3, 6-0.
Gauff managed to beat Osaka 6-3, 6-4 at the same stage of the 2020 Australian Open, thus ending her title defense. However, the Japanese restored her lead in the head-to-head by defeating the American 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 at the Western & Souther Open last year.
Gauff will enter the match as the slight favorite, but Osaka should never be written off. Although the Japanese has had an underwhelming season by her standards, she reached the final of the Miami Open in April and is more than capable of challenging Gauff.
The winner will face either Paula Badosa or Elizabeth Mandlik in the quarterfinals of the Silicon Valley Classic.
