Australian Open 2020: Naomi Osaka vs Zheng Saisai, Second Round | TV schedule, live stream details and more

Defending champion Naomi Osaka cruised into the second round of the Australian Open 2020 after a convincing 6-2, 6-4 victory over Marie Bouzková of the Czech Republic. The 22-year-old won the match with ease in one hour and 20 minutes. Osaka looked in pretty good form with 74% first serve wins and 88% net points.

The Japanese will now face China's Zheng Saisai in her second round encounter. Given the form Naomi is in, it looks like a tough match for her Chinese opponent. In what would be their second encounter on the WTA circuit, Osaka could easily dominate Saisai with her power hitting. The fast court of Melbourne has also added a lot of help to her game.

In her first-round match, Zheng had gone past Anna Kalinskaya of Russia in straight sets. Her stats of the first round encounter pretty much match with the stats of her second-round opponent. It would be interesting to see how the two Asian players challenge each other on the court.
