Amazing Naomi Osaka!
The Japanese wins another match at this US Open after playing fantastic tennis. Naomi impressed already in the first 2 rounds after she conceded just 7 games in aggregate to her opponent. The Japanese went 1 step further in the 3rd round after she defeated the world no.33 Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-0 6-0 in just 50 minutes.
In the past, I would have relaxed. OSAKA
During the following press conference, Naomi commented
“If I would go up 3-0 in the past, then I would create this drama where I relax a lot, and then I let the person come back into the match.
Now that I’m able to beat people at easier scores like this, I think I have improved a lot. I wasn’t necessarily thinking of the score when I was playing today. I was just thinking about the stuff that I had to do to keep winning.”
Next vs. Sabalenka
In the 4th round, Naomi will face Aryna Sabalenka in what will probably become a classic in the years to come. They have never played each other so far.
PERFECT
