INDIAN WELLS, USA – Naomi Osaka was rattled by a heckler early in her second round match against Veronika Kudermetova and never recovered as she fell 6-0, 6-4 at Indian Wells on Saturday, March 12 .
Kudermetova stayed locked in despite the drama and continued her hot start to the year, outplaying the four-time Grand Slam champion even when she regrouped in the second set.“She is a great player, she’s a good fighter, and I’m really happy about my performance today. I was so focused and I’m so happy to be here and play in front of you guys.
“I feel very lucky today to be through. Sebastian was playing some fantastic tennis. He had his chances, but that’s tennis.” The Russian received a warm welcome from the crowd on Stadium One when he was introduced as the world’s top men’s player after the match. Diminutive world No. 46 Paolini said she was as surprised as anyone to come away with her first win over a top 10 opponent.“I’m just happy to be here in the third round. I think I played an amazing match. The crowd was amazing. I enjoyed it very much.”
