However, the four-time Grand Slam champion has a solid grass record of around 52%, with a career match‑win percentage of around 64%.
Olga Danilović, on the other hand, has had a good year so far with a 19–10 record, including ITF results. Her best run came in Rouen, where she reached the final of a WTA event, and she also claimed an ITF title in Antalya.
However, she’s 9–9 this season on grass and has yet to make a big impact. Danilović qualified for Bad Homburg with wins over Nastasja Schunk and Yuliia Starodubtseva.

This will be their first recorded meeting on tour; hence, the two have no head‑to‑head history yet, making this match a fresh and intriguing matchup.
Naomi Osaka vs Olga Danilović Prediction
Osaka holds a strong overall record of 277–153 during her career, including a 21–18 record on grass. Although she hasn’t won her 2025 grass opener, her power and experience on big stages give her a clear edge. She typically earns around 11 aces and wins 80% of her first‑serve points.
At 17–10 this year, Danilovic has a current WTA ranking of 39. She uses consistent baseline play and good court movement. The Serbian hits fewer aces and wins fewer first‑serve points than Osaka, but she’s solid from the back and never gives up. Her grass match experience is limited compared to giants like Osaka.
While Danilović is expected to start strong and possibly take the first set with her movement and touch, Osaka’s firepower and big‑match calm should help her bounce back. Expect Osaka to step up after the first set and pull ahead in the next two when she holds serve and controls the rallies.
Prediction: Osaka to win in three sets
