Bad news for Naomi Osaka‘s fans as the world no.1 crashes out the Roland Garros after collecting on 6 games against Katerina Siniakova.
The match
The world no.1 already struggled in the first 2 round as she had to recover from a 0-2 deficit on both occasions. Naomi didn’t manage to find the solution this time against the world no.42.
1 break was the only difference between Naomi and Katerina in the 1st set. However, the Japanese failed to convert 4 break points (3 on a 0-40 scoreline) in the 10th game of the opening set before losing 6-4.
In the second set, Naomi conquered a 2-1 lead before dropping 5 consecutive games and lose the match 6-4 6-2 in just 77 minutes.
Naomi Osaka will still retain her world no.1 rank after this tournament.
Siniakova will face Madison Keys in the 4th round.
Not really an upset since Osaka admits that clay isn’t her favorite surface
