Naomi Osaka will kick off her claycourt season at the Madrid Open against Anastasia Potapova in the first round on Friday.

The Japanese star has won 10 out of 13 matches this year. She reached the semifinals of the Melbourne Summer Set before pulling out due to fitness issues. Osaka then suffered a third-round exit at the Australian Open at the hands of Amanda Anisimova.

The 24-year-old was eliminated by Veronika Kudermetova in the second round of the Indian Wells Open but impressed in Miami by reaching the final.

She will now shift her focus to the clay season, starting with the Madrid Open. Osaka will face Potapova for the first time in her career.
