Naomi Osaka has no problems in getting to the Australian Open 3rd round.
The world no.4 dismisses Tamara Zidansek in straight sets to face Su-Wei Hsieh in the next round.
The match
Naomi was the hot favorite to win the contest against the no. 78. Everything looked smooth for Osaka at least in the first set after the Japanese won it with a comfortable 6-2 scoreline. Things became a fraction complicated in the second set when unexpectedly, Tamara broke Naomi in the 6th game (4-2). That was a sort of wake up call for Osaka that got back her focus to win the next 4 games and wrap up the match in 64 minutes. The final score was 6-2 6-4.
