The Daily Mix: Halep set for fourth-round show with Osaka

MELBOURNE — Simona Halep did not made it easy for herself but up next she has an exciting showdown with rising star Naomi Osaka. The pair are set to take the court on Monday in the fourth round of the Australian Open with Halep leading their head-to-head record, 2-0.

Osaka may be just 20 but she has scored some big wins already in her career already (including Angelique Kerber at the US Open). The Japanese sensation will bring the power, but Halep has her vast experience and newfound mental strength to fall back on.
