Score, report, and key facts

2^nd set.

Linette came out strong at the beginning of the set after breaking Osaka in the 2^nd game (2-0) before consolidating her break and lead 3-0. Nonetheless, the Japanese was not done to come back to break the Pole in the 5^th (2-3) and in the 7^th (4-3) game before winning the set (6-4).

A crucial moment of the match was when Osaka won 5 consecutive games in the 2^nd set to change the scoreline from 0-3 to 5-3.

Statistics

At the end of the match, Osaka scored 60 points vs. the Pole’s 43 points.

Naomi served exceptionally well to win 83% of the points (19/23) behind her first serve, and she won 59% points (16/27) on her second serve. Osaka was pretty effective in converting 67% of the break points that she procured (4/6). On the other side, Magda was far from perfect in converting her break points since she converted only 25% of her break points (1/4). That was one of the key issues for her loss.
