Naomi Osaka delivered a commanding performance in Montreal, defeating Anastasija Sevastova 6-1, 6-0 in just 49 minutes. The match marked one of the most dominant displays of Osaka’s career, with the former World No. 1 barely giving her opponent room to breathe.
A Career Highlight in Speed and Precision
The win against Sevastova now stands as the second quickest completed match of Osaka’s professional career. Her fastest remains a 42-minute triumph over Laura Pous Tió Sánchez in Florianopolis back in 2016. The Montreal match showcased Osaka’s aggressive baseline play, pinpoint accuracy, and relentless pace.
Ruthless Efficiency from Start to Finish
From the opening game, Osaka took control with deep returns and powerful serves. Sevastova struggled to find rhythm, often forced into defensive positions and unable to counter Osaka’s intensity. The first set flew by in just over 20 minutes, and the second was even more one-sided.
Momentum Building in Montreal
This performance signals Osaka’s growing momentum as she continues her campaign in Montreal. With her timing, movement, and confidence all clicking into place, she looks poised to make a deep run in the tournament. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely to see how far she can go.
Osaka’s Return to Form Gains Traction
After periods of injury and time away from the tour, Osaka’s resurgence is becoming increasingly evident. Her win over Sevastova not only adds another victory to her record but also reinforces her status as a formidable force on hard courts. With her next match looming, all eyes are on Osaka to see if she can maintain this blistering form.
