Naomi Osaka , of Japan, walks onto the court during a second round match against Karolina Muchova , of the Czech Republic, of the U.S.
But she played much better in the second set, getting her only break of the evening to lead 5-4 and yelling “Come on!” when 2023 French Open runner-up Muchova netted a forehand. The crowd roared for Osaka. Serving for that set, Osaka hit a 119 mph ace, her fastest of the match, to lead 40-love. That gave her three chances to extend the match to a third set. That’s when Osaka really faltered, making five forehand errors, with a double-fault mixed in, to get broken.
When they got to the tiebreaker, it was Muchova who asserted herself, then used some scrambling defense on the last point, flinging the ball back over the net and seeing Osaka send a swinging volley out.
