Second seed Naomi Osaka will take on Leolia Jeanjean in the semifinal of the L'Open 35 de Saint Malo.

Osaka is one of the top contenders on tour. After a promising runner-up finish in Auckland, she reached the third round of the Australian Open and the fourth round of the Miami Open. Despite a valiant effort against Jasmine Paolini, the Italian outfoxed her in Miami 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.

The former World No. 1 entered Saint Malo after a first-round exit in Madrid. She started her campaign by cruising past Petra Marcinko and Diane Parry in the first few rounds and then brushed aside Elsa Jacquemot in the quarterfinals in straight sets.

She also entered the main draw of the Australian Open via the qualifiers but came up short against Jodie Burrage in the first round.

Jeanjean entered Saint Malo after a first-round exit in Bellinzona. She started her campaign with hard-fought wins over Lois Boisson and Carolina Dolehide in the first two rounds and then overpowered Fiona Ferro in the third. Jeanjean defeated the Frenchwoman Ferro in straight sets.

Naomi Osaka has struggled to find her rhythm in the last couple of years. She is a proven winner on the tour, but injury setbacks and inconsistency have dampened her chances in the last few months. The 27-year-old will be pleased with a few wins under her belt in Saint Malo and will be eager to win the event this week.

Jeanjean, meanwhile, has had some tough results this year. She reached the final of ITF events in Pune and Vacaria but couldn't do the business. The 29-year-old will have a great chance to make a statement against Osaka and reach her third final this year.

Osaka's powerful all-around game will take on Jeanjean's versatility on the clay courts of Saint Malo. Considering their record on clay and results at the highest level, Osaka will be a favorite to come out on top. Jeanjean has the pedigree to cause an upset, but the second seed should navigate past this challenge in the semifinal.

Pick: Osaka to win in straight sets.
