Following her win over Oceane Dodin, Gauff was asked to address Osaka coming to one of her 2023 US Open matches and the possibility of facing her in Miami. That's when the current world No. 6 said she would really like to play against the 26-year-old again. The press conference took place before the former world No. 1 lost to Garcia.

Naomi Osaka has returned to the top 60 of the WTA Rankings for the first time since January 2023 as she continued her winning run at the China Open, but she faces a big test next as she is up against Coco Gauff.
