    However, if Osaka is able to qualify for the Italian Open quarter-finals, the chance for Halep to become a WTA queen is buried. Osaka will still be the world number one as well as being confirmed as the first seed of the French Open Grand Slam which will be held at the end of May.

    In fact, the Romanian was almost an Osaka coup if She won the Madrid Open last week. Unfortunately, Halep's opportunity was disrupted by Dutchman Kiki Bertens who beat him in the final. "I just feel this is the way, not always how you see yourself but how others see you, even outside tennis," Osaka said.

    The 21-year-old Japanese tennis player did not want to be burdened with the competition to become the world number 1 tennis player. '' Like people talking or anything and then they talk about you. I feel like there is a big difference, some of them say number one against number 2, '' said the 2019 Australian Open Grand Slam champion.

    "I think it's a small thing. And for me, after their Australian Open champion said I would be number 1. But, for me, I felt it was a big influence to be the first seed. That's what is always in my mind, '' she continued.

    Because of that, Osaka does not want if the world number one title will prevent him from continuing to score achievements. "Of course, I told people that I didn't really care about ranking as far as I played in a tournament. It's real. At the same time, everyone knows this about me; "Grand Slam means more to me," she said. "This has always been a dream for me (being the top seed of the Grand Slam). Hopefully, I can do that. "

    This year, Osaka's achievements if playing in a tournament held on clay are promising. She was able to qualify for the semifinals in Stuttgart and the quarter-finals at the Madrid Open. She hopes, before appearing at the French Open Grand Slam which is also played on clay, can do the best in the Italian Open.
    While Halep is the defending champion of the French Open Grand Slam. She followed the Italian Open by capitalizing on a record 7-1 victory in the clay court. Halep and Osaka both qualified for the second round of the Italian Open.

    Osaka will face Dominika Cibulkova and Halep meet Marketa Vondrousova. It is interesting to wait for the extent to which the two Top 2 players stepped in the Italian Open. { SOURCE }
