Looking for a second Australian Championship win, and a fourth Grand Slam overall.

One of the highlights of the Australian Open will come tomorrow (Saturday) with the world number 3, Naomi Osaka meeting Jennifer Brady ranked 24. Osaka arrives after the impressive victory over Serena Williams in the semi-finals, and when she is in the middle of an amazing winning streak of 20. On the other hand, Brady, who defeated Carolina Mohova in the semifinals, will make her first ever appearance in the Grand Slam tournament final and hopes to amaze the opponent, who comes in as a clear favorite.
Osaka hopes not to stumble against the American, whose very promotion to the final is a huge achievement for her.
The 23-year-old Japanese had already won the Australian Open in 2019 and would like to recreate the achievement from two years ago.
If you do, it will be the fourth Grand Slam title of the third in the world, and the first in 2021.

Eurosport commentator Matt Willander does not really see a way in which Osaka speeches will drop the victory.
"It all depends on her," he said ahead of the final.
"I'm sure she will not underestimate Brady, but if Osaka plays well, hits cleanly and serves as she normally does - I see no way to stop her."
Brady, 25, reached the final while playing aggressive and uncompromising tennis.
In the semi-finals she started excellently and won the first set, and despite losing momentum and losing in the second set she managed to get the win despite losing four game points.
