Aryna Sabalenka Vs Naomi Osaka Live Score, Wimbledon 2026: Top Seed Meets Japanese Star With QF Place At Stake

Aryna Sabalenka up against Naomi Osaka is coming up next on Centre Court. Hang on to your horses!

Osaka will play Sabalenka on Centre Court in the second match of the day. It will follow the men’s singles match between Novak Djokovic and qualifier Roman Safiullin, which will get underway shortly after 1:30pm local time. Osaka v Sabalenka will therefore take place at around 4:30pm, but it looks like it may be slightly later due to Djokovic’s match.

“Obviously I've been doing really well on grass this year. My confidence is pretty high. For me, I know what my grass court tennis looks like. It gives me a pretty stable mindset going into the match no matter who I play.

“I also don't really have as many doubts as I did on clay court. Maybe it would be a little bit better for me on grass. But I'm not so sure.

“She's the No. 1 player in the world. If there is someone I had to lose to, I would pick that ranking position. If anything, I would say I learned from all of those matches, so hopefully I can apply, if I do play her.”

Osaka triumphed in their initial encounter at the US Open in 2018; however, Sabalenka has emerged victorious in all three matches they have contested this year, which includes victories on both hard court and clay surfaces. This upcoming match will mark their first meeting on grass.
