The Japanese stepped up in a great fashion to overplay Kostyuk and without too much hustling she won 6-2. The Ukrainian broke Naomi 3 times in the 3rd (2-1), in the 5th (4-1) and in the 7th (5-2) game. However, Osaka broke her opponent in the 6th (4-2) game, but that didn’t prevent her to win the set (6-2).
