BERLIN, April 24 ― World number one Naomi Osaka will have a chance for revenge on Taiwan's Hsieh Su-wei this week when the two meet in the second round of the WTA tournament in Stuttgart.

Hsieh came from behind to beat China's Wang Qiang in three sets 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 today to set up a second round clash with Osaka, whom she beat in Miami last month.
