Naomi Osaka celebrates after defeating Romania’s Patricia Maria Tig at the Roland Garros stadium today.
PARIS: World number two Naomi Osaka let her racquet do the talking at the French Open today when she reached the second round with a 6-4, 7-6 victory over Romania’s Patricia Maria Tig. The 23-year-old Japanese star, a four-time Grand Slam title winner, has refused to carry out media obligations at the tournament, claiming news conferences are detrimental to her mental health.“For me, playing on clay is a work in progress,” said the reigning US and Australian Open champion on a sun-kissed Court Philippe Chatrier.
“Hopefully the more I play, the better I will become. It’s a beautiful court. I’ve only played two matches here, one before the roof and one now so hopefully I’ll keep it going.” Osaka, who has never got past the third round in Paris, fired 39 winners but committed 35 unforced errors against her 63rd-ranked opponent.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.
