US Open 2020 quarterfinals: Naomi Osaka vs Shelby Rogers preview

Naomi Osaka has had a fairly successful year. She started 2020 with a semi-final appearance at the Brisbane International, where she lost to Karolina Plíšková despite winning the first set. Her worst performance was at the Australian Open where she was the defending champion. Osaka faced a shock round three defeat to the unseeded Coco Gauff. '

After being out of the arena due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Osaka returned in full strength at the Cincinnati Masters. After defeating E. Mertens in the semi-final, Osaka set up a final against Victoria Azarenka. However, she had to pull out of the match due to an injured left hamstring, handing Azarenka the title. At the US Open so far, she has defeated Japan's M. Doi, C. Giorgi, M. Kostyuk, and 14th seed A. Kontaveit to reach the semi-final. 

Osaka will have bittersweet memories of the US Open, having won her first Grand Slam here in the controversial 2018 final against Serena Williams. 

Shelby Rogers meanwhile, has booked herself her first Grand Slam quarterfinal since 2016, where she reached this stage at the French Open. On her way to the quarterfinal, she has defeated I. Khromacheva, E. Rybakina, M. Brengle, and the No. 6 seed  Petra Kvitova. Rogers has a surprising 3-0 lead over Naomi Osaka in the pair's head-to-head and has never lost a set against her more fancied opponent. However, it is noteworthy that their last meeting came in 2017 before Osaka really hit her stride.
