Naomi Osaka, the four-time Grand Slam champion, will face Anhelina Kalinina in the Round of 32 at the 2026 Madrid Open on April 25. Osaka, who recently returned to clay courts, had a strong showing against Camila Osorio, winning 6-2, 7-5. Despite her historical challenges on clay, with a win percentage of 58.77%, she remains the favorite. Kalinina, from Ukraine, has made an impressive run through the qualifiers, defeating Marina Bassols Ribera and Sloane Stephens, and has continued her momentum with wins over Kamilla Rakhimova and Marie Bouzkova. In their only previous encounter, Osaka triumphed with a score of 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. While Kalinina's performance on clay has been strong, Osaka's experience and recent form suggest she should secure a spot in the next round, with predictions indicating a potential three-set match.
