Naomi Osaka is having a rather interesting run in New York. The Japanese sensation reached the final at the Western & Southern Open where unfortunately she wasn’t able to play the final because of a hamstring injury. The former world no.1 seems to still struggle with her leg at the US Open, but she had the luxury to have a rather easy match in the second round against Camila Giorgi.
