Naomi Osaka's next match: Opponent, venue, live streaming, TV channel, and schedule | Miami Open 2024, R1

Four-time Major champion Naomi Osaka will begin her campaign at the 2024 Miami Open against Elisabetta Cocciaretto on Wednesday.

Osaka suffered some early losses at the start of her comeback earlier this year but has played a lot better in recent weeks. She reached her first quarterfinal of the season at the Qatar Open, a WTA 1000 event.

Osaka then made it to the third round of the recently concluded Indian Wells Open. She even scored her first win over a top 20 player this year as she defeated Liudmila Samsonova in the second round. She lost to Elise Mertens in the third round after that.

Who is Naomi Osaka playing against?

Elisabetta Cocciaretto at the 2024 Dubai Tennis Championships.

World No. 51 Elisabetta Cocciaretto will be Osaka's first round opponent in Miami. The Italian bowed out of the Indian Wells Open in the first round itself as she lost to Peyton Stearns 6-3, 6-2.

Cocciaretto then dropped down a level to participate in the Challenger event in Charleston. It turned out to be a great decision as she went on to win the title. She defeated Diana Shnaider 6-3, 6-2 in the final to lay her hands on the winner's trophy.

This will be the first meeting between Osaka and Cocciaretto. The latter has never made it past the first round of the Miami Open thus far. She also has just three main draw wins to her name at the WTA 1000 level.
