Osaka holds her nerve to reach US Open third round

  • On Thursday, Naomi Osaka defeated Katerina Siniakova 6-2, 5-7, 6-1 at Arthur Ashe Stadium, advancing to the third round of the U.S. Open.
  • Osaka dominated the opening set in 30 minutes with four unforced errors, but her form dropped sharply in the second as she committed 20 unforced errors, allowing Siniakova to force a decider.
  • Frustrated after losing the second set, the 28-year-old Osaka took a bathroom break before the third set to regroup, a decision she credited with helping her regain control.
  • Regaining her composure, the 13th-seed raced to a 3-0 lead in the final set and won more than 90% of first-serve points to close out the match 6-1.
  • Osaka now faces Belgian Elise Mertens in the next round, who defeated Maria Timofeeva 6-2, 7-6 in her second-round match.
