Naomi Osaka destroys Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-2 6-3 in the final in Osaka on Sunday after playing a good match to win her 4th career title, the 2nd of this season.
This is a very important title for the Japanese that wasn’t unable to have a successful run at a tournament since the Australian Open. It is quite curious about the fact that the Japanese is back to victory soon after she sacked her coach Jermaine Jenkins. Also, the former world no.1 looked quite relieved and “free of stress” in Osaka.
