Naomi Osaka was eliminated from the Australian Open in the first round! The Japanese tennis player, who won this tournament twice, was defeated by Caroline Garcia (France) – 6:4, 7:6 (7:2). In addition, she also read a book in the middle of the match, in the break between games, so that was also a move that became a hit on social networks.
The French played an almost perfect match, she didn’t allow the former number one tennis player in the world a single break point, she had 13 aces and all that brought her triumph. “I have a lot of respect for her both as a person and as a tennis player, she has a great career. She didn’t play tennis for 15 months, she went through a lot, I hope he can enjoy himself on the field and have fun. She did a lot,” Garcia said.
As a reminder, Osaka withdrew from the Australian Open last year and that news shocked many. However, it was soon discovered that the reason for this was the best possible – she was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter and decided to return to the field. “Just six months after giving birth, she is back, that in itself is incredible. We have to be carefulGarcia laughed.
Naomi played a very good match and showed that she will be a “land mine” for many during the season. She is currently 831 on the WTA list, and because of that, she could cause problems for the seeds in the upcoming tournaments. The three-time Grand Slam champion is back and wants to get back to the top where she belongs.
