She's Ranked No. 2 in the World in 2020

Fast forward to 2020, and Kamiji is ranked number two in the world. That would make her the favorite in just about any matchup, except the one taking place in the US Open Finals; de Groot, her opponent, is the world number one. Kamiji has also held the number one spot, having ascended there in 2014 at age 20.
