The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Finals are ranked as the fifth most prestigious WTA Tour event of a season after the four Grand Slam tournaments. The tournament takes place at the end of each season, and is exclusively for the top ranked female professional players in the game. Outside of the four majors, the WTA Finals has the largest. The 2021 Australian Open Women’s Singles final is set. 22nd seed, Jennifer Brady will take on the third seed, Naomi Osaka in a rematch of what was the exciting 2020 US Open semifinal match. Osaka is coming off a big win against Serena Williams to earn her spot in this final, and is heading into this match as the heavy favorite.

Jun 7, 2019; Paris, France: Ashleigh Barty (AUS) celebrates recording match point during her match against Amanda Anisimova (USA) on day 13 of the 2019 French Open at Stade Roland Garros.

Two former No. 1 players looking for their third career grand slam title will face off on Saturday when Naomi Osaka and Victoria Azarenka meet in the 2020 U.S. Open women's final at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing, N.Y. The 22-year-old Osaka has won 10 straight matches. She won the U.S. Open title in 2018. Meanwhile the 31-year-old Azarenka has won 11 consecutive matches. She'll be making her third appearance in the U.S. Open final but her first since 2013. She is 0-for-2 in those finals. The match is set to begin at 4 p.m. ET.

William Hill lists Osaka as a -175 favorite (risk $175 to win $100) in the latest Osaka vs. Azarenka odds, with the Azarenka listed at +138 (risk $100 to win $138) as the underdog. You can also pick whether Osaka will cover the 2.5-game spread and how many sets the match will last, among other wagering options.

An uncanny international women's tennis guru, Mair enters the 2020 U.S. Open women's final on a mind-blowing streak. Last year, he told SportsLine readers to bet Bianca Andreescu (20-1) to win the title, the year before he had Osaka (32-1) and in 2017 he had Madison Keys (9-2). That's right -- he has predicted three straight outright winners with big payouts.

Morever, anyone tailing his outright picks and in-tournament bets is up a staggering $12,305 over that span.

One huge shocker: Mair is not expecting a straight-sets victory by either Osaka or Azarenka.

'It is impossible not to be impressed with the form of both players,' Mair tells SportsLine. 'This match is a repeat final from the Premier 5 event held at the same venue two weeks ago. That match was uncontested due to a hamstring injury for Osaka.'

He adds, 'I think this match could go the distance.'

Naomi Osaka can strengthen her argument as the best player in the world when she battles Jennifer Brady in the 2021 Australian Open finals. The 23-year-old Osaka has won three of the last eight grand slams and three of the last seven majors in which she has played. On Saturday, she’ll square off against Brady, a 25-year-old former UCLA tennis star who will be appearing in her first grand slam final.

The match is set to begin at 3:30 a.m. ET on Saturday. William Hill Sportsbook lists Osaka as a -550 favorite in the latest Osaka vs. Brady odds, with Brady listed as a +425 underdog. You can also pick whether Osaka will cover a 4.5-game spread and how many games the match will last, among other Brady vs. Osaka bets.

Mair is the international women’s tennis expert who called unseeded Jelena Ostapenko (80-1) winning the 2017 French Open, Osaka (32-1) winning the 2018 U.S. Open and Bianca Andreescu (20-1) winning the 2019 U.S. Open.

Before the women’s singles final in the most recent Grand Slam, the French Open, Mair picked Iga Swiatek to win (-163) and win in straight sets (+140), and he was right on both counts as the 19-year-old beat Simona Halep for her first title. And earlier this week Mair correctly called Osaka to beat Serena Williams (-150).

Now, Mair has broken down the latest 2021 Australian Open women’s final and released his coveted best bets for Osaka vs. Brady. He’s sharing all his picks and analysis here.

Naomi Osaka vs. Jennifer Brady preview

Osaka plays best when the lights are the brightest. Of her six career WTA titles, three are grand slams. With a win on Saturday, she would have four major titles by the age of 23. By comparison, Maria Sharapova was 25 when she won her fourth grand slam, while Venus Williams and Justine Henin, who won seven majors, were 21 at the time of their fourth. Osaka doesn’t turn 24 until October.

In addition, Osaka has ridden a lethal serve to the final. In six matches in Melbourne, the 5-foot-11 Osaka has hit 44 aces, which leads the field and is nine more than Serena Williams and 12 more than Brady. Osaka has won 79.5 percent of her first serve points during the Australian Open 2021, the best percentage of any player who reached at least the second round.

Tennis Match Odds

Like Osaka, Brady has shined on hard court grand slams. Prior to the Australian Open 2021, she cruised to the semifinals in last year’s U.S. Open without dropping a set. In the semis, she ran into Osaka and battled valiantly before losing in three sets.

Win or lose, Brady’s career has been on an upward trajectory. In 2019, she started working with coach Michael Geserer in Germany, leading to a breakthrough 2020 season. She beat Maria Sharapova and top-ranked Ashleigh Barty to start the year, won 12 of her first 17 matches before the coronavirus pandemic suspended the sport, and then won her first WTA title in Lexington in August before her U.S. Open run.
