Osaka, a two-time champion at Flushing Meadows, has shown impressive form in the tournament. She defeated Daria Kasatkina 6-0 3-6 6-3 in the third round, a victory that marks her first time reaching the fourth round at the US Open since 2020. This also signifies a significant milestone for Osaka, as she has now won 26 US Open matches, making the event her joint-best grand slam in terms of wins, along with the Australian Open.
On the other hand, Coco Gauff, who won the US Open in 2023, advanced to the fourth round by defeating Magdalena Frech in straight sets. The young American has a 3-2 win-loss record against Osaka on the WTA Tour, with Gauff having beaten Osaka three times. Their last meeting was at the French Open 2024, where Gauff won in straight sets.
Their first meeting was at Flushing Meadows in 2019, where Osaka won in straight sets. However, Gauff has shown a knack for defeating Osaka, with their most recent encounter being a testament to that.
Both players have shown strong form leading up to their match, setting the stage for a competitive clash. Osaka's last win at a grand slam was at the 2021 Australian Open, where she also reached the fourth round. This will be the first time Osaka has reached the fourth round at Flushing Meadows since she won the second of her US Open crowns in 2020.
As Osaka referred to Gauff as a "little sister" when discussing their upcoming match, it is clear that there is a mutual respect between the two players. The US Open 2025 fourth round match between Osaka and Gauff is sure to be a thrilling encounter, with both players eager to claim victory.
