Naomi Osaka gets her clay-court season underway with a second-round match against Camila Osorio at the Madrid Open.

Osaka vs Osorio Head-to-Head Record
This will be the fourth meeting between these two players. They first met at the 2022 Australian Open, where Osaka won in straight sets. Osorio then came out on top in straight sets at Indian Wells last year. But Osaka exacted revenge in California this year, winning 6-1, 3-6, 6-1.
The Japanese star has played only 8 matches this year and holds a 5-3 win-loss record heading into the Madrid Open. She made the third round of the Australian Open before suffering an injury. Her promising run at Indian Wells was ended by Aryna Sabalenka, and she lost to Talia Gibson in the second round at the Miami Open.
Osorio holds 3 WTA 250 titles on clay and has a strong overall record on the red dirt. She has a 15-8 win-loss record in 2026 and cruised to a 6-0, 6-3 win over Anastasia Zakharova in the first round.
The 24-year-old was on top of her game in that match and broke her opponent’s serve 5 times while winning 78.6% of the points on her first serve.
Osaka vs Osorio Prediction and Pick
Osaka certainly doesn’t consider clay to be her best surface, but she has shown glimpses of her quality over the years. Her best result in Madrid was a quarterfinal appearance in 2019; she was eliminated in the first round last year.
Osorio will be full of confidence following her dominant first-round win over Zakharova. She is a decent clay-court player but suffered a shock early exit at the Copa Colsanitas earlier this month.
As the 14th seed, Osaka will be the favorite to win this clash on paper. But having not played for over a month, it remains to be seen whether rust will be an issue for her.
